Accidentally Clicked a Suspicious Link in Discord—Am I Safe?
Asked by

Hey everyone, I'm part of a trading Discord and someone sent a random link or file. I clicked on it without thinking, and now I'm a bit worried. I can't remember exactly what it was, but after clicking, another link appeared asking me to press it to download a file, which I didn't do. I've already changed my passwords, but I'm having trouble changing my Apple ID password. Just looking for some advice—should I be worried about this? Any help would be appreciated!

First off, if you didn’t actually download or run any files after clicking the initial link, you’re probably okay. Just visiting a link doesn’t always mean you’ve downloaded malware. Keep an eye on your accounts for any unusual activity and ensure your passwords are strong. It’s good you changed your passwords already!
