Bank phishing on apple devices

I temporarily lost my mind and from my imac applemail clicked on a Phishing email that asked me to verify my bank account-nothing happened when I clicked on the link so then I clicked on it from my iPhone- please no shaming!-And the link didn't work. then I opened up my bank account in the banking app and checked my balance and I called the bank. The bank told me to check with Apple!!--to see if they could tell if either device had been compromised. No one has talked about this in a year or more so I wanted to pose the question anew.

It would only have been when you signed into the link provided by the email that damage would have been done a long time ago. Simply checking using your bank's app wasn't anything different from you checking it normally. In any case, there would have been nothing Apple could have done. This would have been purely between you and your bank.


A year later is a bit of a wait. I suspect if that link had worked you would have seen signs of problems the same day.
