Opened an email in error

I opened an email trying to delete it and clearly it was a scam type email within it it had ‘mime’ downloads which I did not click on but as quick as possible I deleted the whole thing - just worried I may have downloaded a virus or have enabled a hacker to gain access on my iPhone ?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

So it’s totally fine. iOS sandboxes applications etc., and there are no vulnerabilities in the public domain that the scammers could have potentially exploited.


Good on you for asking however.
