Phishing email

Hi


This morning stupidly whilst still half asleep I opened an email from a friendon my ipad that contained a link I clicked on. This took me to a Bitcoin website - I immeiately realised my mistake and came out and deleted the email. I also then went and changed my Apple password. I am worried that sensitive info like passwords, bank details and other security info has now been compromised. Any advice/reassurance would be most useful.

Many thanks

clicking should not be enough to get compromised

the nature of phising is to take you to a page you believe is apples and have you supply them

with your appleID and password willingly
