I clicked on malicious link on my iphone, is there a possibility I got any viruses or my data was stolen?

I clicked on link that tried to open side with 11/92 flags about beeing malicious, malware and a phishing website. When the first site started to load I immediately stopped the website from loading(This link was on twitter). Is there a way m data was stolen or something?

Heres the virustotal page:

I accidentaly clicked on a phishing scam link I unfortunately experienced having entered a dubious site. It all started with a video on youtube promoting a 1000 dollars giveaway conducted by Mr Beast. I clicked the link in the description and then a sign saying "claim reward". After that i swiftly realised that the site was shady and so quickly deleted the safari tab. I cleared the data from safari and updated my iphone from 16.3-ish to the latest 16.4.1. Furthermore, i immediately changed all of my banking passwords. I didn't turn off my wifi though. The question that is bothering me is, whether any malware could have been downloaded on my device as i clicked the link or the sign? Just to mark out, since then my phone hasn't been overheating and i haven't noticed a significant change in my data usage. If there's a risk of my phone being infected what's the most efficient way of deleting the virus? Thank you in advance!

Clicking Suspicious Links I accidentally clicked a link on my iPhone (SE 2020, iOS 16.6) when I was tired. Safari gave me the ‘this website may be impersonating the site you wish to access to steal your personal or financial information’ warning but the URL displayed was still the one I unintentionally clicked. I then returned to the page I was on without doing/clicking anything. Did Safari actually block this site? I read that even if you end up on a malicious page, nothing can happen to an iPhone unless you click/download/permit something or type details, is this still true? As far as I know iOS doesn’t allow scans so is there anything else I should do now or look out for? Thanks.

Accidentally installed virus? Hey everyone so i’ve encountered these scams before but basically this time i clicked a twitter link to an article and the hack scam pop up appeared and i accidentally clicked download or install and it asked to redirect me to an app or something, i closed out and cleared safari cache. could i have accidentally installed a virus on my iphone or was it just gonna redirect me to the app store? Thanks

Your phone is fine as long as you did not provide any personal details like your Apple ID and Apple ID Password.

Since you stopped it from loading, no.
