Q: Should I be worry that my social media/email is compromised on macbook?

I just clicked on a facebook link earlier that brought me to a fake "facebook" site that ask me to give them permission to get to my public profile, I clicked "cancel" on the pop up instead of just closing the tab (Yea stupid I know).

 

Then it took me to a fake "macbook" site with a window that tells me my password is too simple and it can be hacked, then it brings me to a site to suggest me to download a "helper", I was successful at closing the "download helper" window but I couldn't close the fake macbook window, everytime I close it it would just pop back up.

 

I was using chrome and I decided to force quit the browser.

 

 

Should I do anything before going back into my social media/email? I mean it's a little too late now but are there any kind of "scan" I should perform on my mac? Should I be worry that my email and facebook accounts have been compromised?

 

 

 

thank you
