FACEBOOK MESSAGE - SUSPICIOUS

I got an email that appeared to be legit and was in my spam box.

The message was that an attempt log in from Iphone 11 pro was made to my FB account.

I clicked on REPORT USER and a email draft window appeared with numerous email address with message "PLEASE CANCEL". I did not hit send.

I'm afraid that this was a PHISHING site. What shall I do next?

IS there a possibility that I caught computer virus in my MACBOOK Air.

How do I check if there is a virus in my device.

I'm not using my network right now. I'm using hotspot as I write this post.

I'm afraid to access any of my accounts at this point.

Macs do not get viruses. However, they are still prone to malware or adware attacks. I suggest that you try using Malwarebytes for Mac to detect and remove any of these should the be present on your Mac. Reconnecting your MacBook Air to the Internet, during this process, should not be an issue. They offer a free trial period so that you can still use it to check for malware.
