Got a random link sent to me with the caption “our private video on a website” by an unknown number. I didn’t open the link on my iPhone but I did type the link into a url checker and it said it contains malicious content. Im almost certain my iPhone hasn’t been comprised but I just want to double check. I’m on the latest version of iOS.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15
