Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I was so stupid yesterday I clicked a link in a text message posing as Australian Medicare. Nothing seemed to be opening in Safari and I quickly realised my stupid mistake after a few seconds so closed the browser tab. Is my iPhone 13 infected now? Is my identity, finances, passwords etc. at risk?!? Cyber security person I spoke to on the phone said I need to do complete hard shut down which would mean I will lose everything. PLEASE HELP!
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
do you mean did I enter any information to the site? The site never loaded so no I didn’t enter any information. Please confirm, I’m obviously stressing. Is it not possible that it may have infected my phone?
1. No.
2. No, unless you manually provided it to the linked site.

Your information and the iPhone is secure.

Thank you so much for replying. What does it mean then in Safari where it says “in the last 7 days Safari has prevented 30 trackers from profiling you.”
Websites you normally visit tried to obtain unnecessary information. This isn't related to the link you got.
