Hello! I made the mistake of clicking on a link from a contact I thought I could trust. The link brought me to a sign-in page where I entered in my email address and password. Shortly after realizing my mistake I reset my password and settings for my email account. Is it possible that by clicking the link that my iPhone is now infected with a virus or malware? If so what is the recommended course of action?
I doubt that your iPhone will be infected with a virus. However, you may have opened yourself up to receiving spam to that email account (even though you changed the password - a spammer doesn't need to know your password to send you email). If you suspect something is awry, try this:
