I accidentally clicked on an ad while browsing some content and quickly closed the tab without downloading anything. I have two-factor authentication set up on my phone. How likely am I to end up with malware or be compromised just from that accidental click?

You're probably in the clear! Just misclicking an ad usually isn't enough to get malware, especially since you closed it right away. Just keep an eye on your bank account for any unusual activity, but I wouldn't stress too much about it.

As long as you didn't download anything and you have two-factor authentication enabled, the risk is pretty low. Just make sure to stay vigilant and follow up with some malware scans if you're really concerned.
