Suspicious email

Hi. I inadvertently clicked on a link from an email I thought was legitimate. I realized as link was opening it may not be legit. I immediately ceased the operation and deleted the email.

is there any danger that what I now type on my iPad or if I open my sensitive sites, eg banking, that this could be exposed.

Clicked on fake Gmail phishing email I opened a fake Gmail security breach alert email on my iPhone thinking it was genuine, and clicked on the 'Check passwords' button, but did not enter any personal information at that stage. What are the risks I incur and what should I do to prevent any malware or other issues on my device or App accounts?

Have I been hacked? Received an email appearing to be legit. Deleted it and it completely disappeared. Never went to trash. Lots of weird stuff under the analytics report from 3/18/22 after I looked at that email. How do I check?

what if i clicked a phishing link on my iphone Hello! I received an email from my outlook: ‌‌Y‌‌our ‌A‌p‌p‌l‌e‌ ‌‌Ι‌‌D‌‌ has been ‌‌l‌‌o‌‌c‌‌k‌‌e‌‌ď‌‌ on Sunday, May, 22 2022 ‌‌f‌‌or ‌‌s‌‌ecurit‌‌y‌‌ ‌‌r‌‌eason‌‌s‌‌, because of too many fa‌‌i‌‌l‌‌ed ‌‌l‌‌og‌‌i‌‌n attempts ‌‌Y‌‌ou cannot access your account and any ‌A‌p‌p‌l‌e‌ services, ‌V‌erification is required before 24 hours to get re-access your account T‌‌he purpose of this email is to ensure that we update you when important actions are taken. The ‌s‌ecurit‌y‌ of your account is important to us. If you don't recognize this activity I think it is a phishing email as it is sent from AppI‌‌e‌‌ ‌І‌D‌ <k7m8tdtdxw@polaroidprinter.com>... Unfortunately, I realized it is a phishing after I clicked on the click "Verify Your Account" I immediately clear all my history and cache, and turn off my wifi. I didn't provide any personal information (name, password, bank details etc), but I am still worried if I will get hacked. ‌‌Is there a way to check if malware has been installed on my iPhone? Thank you! [Edited by Moderator]

No, but if you put information into a form there, it may be compromised even if you didn't submit the form.
