I recently posted an item on Grailed and got verified. Shortly after, I received an email that looked quite legit but asked me to verify again or my item wouldn't be available for purchase. The email was from grailed, but upon closer inspection, I noticed they were replacing the letter 'L' with a '|' in words like 'successfully.' The link they sent was https://grailed.sbs/ followed by a bunch of numbers, and when I clicked it, I got an error page that switched to just 'g.' I checked out the website grailed.sbs and got another error, this time with a blacked-out page featuring purple Russian letters. Now I'm really paranoid about my accounts being at risk or my computer getting infected with malware.

First things first, did you enter any personal information like your username or password on that link? If you didn't, that's a relief! But still, it's wise to stay cautious.
Disconnect your PC from the internet, especially if you're unsure. Backup your important files and change your passwords just to be safe. A full factory reset might be a pain, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Is that really necessary, though? I didn't download anything, and the site didn't work.
No, I didn't put any info in. Both sites gave error messages, but I'm super paranoid about these things.
