Other than alerting your contacts that they should not click the link in any WhatsApp e-mail messages they may have received from you, no. There's still no evidence of any kind that malware is involved here, it's just a phishing scam.

Could this be related to the recently discovered Mail weakness? http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/06/serious-ios-bug-makes-it-easy-to-steal-u sers-icloud-passwords/

Those who say they never entered a password may well be entering one later when prompted.
