Thank you sir i pressed a link that took me to steam gaming website but i dont even have account there. Now running anti malware scan. Your video really eased my worries a lil bit. Thanks again
Thank you so much Leo! I pressed a fake link and I logged in.After I realized that the website is fake,I immediately changed my password.This really helped reassure me because I have been panicking for the whole day.
Oh gosh this is such a relief. Recently I’ve been getting repeated messages of my phone account missing 600 dollars of payment. I tried blocking the number but they somehow kept messaging and calling me. Just a while ago I clicked the link attached to the message and got to a website and recognized it was fake without pressing anything, I was still scared out of my mind tho!
well you have to be aware and close it immediately before it loads and the phishing process is complete and calm down, second of all, restart your router, because it replaces your ip with another newer one, thus making the ip in the phisher useless and not usable, thus making his work against you undone and lastly to maintain your safety, for making sure no risks, use VPN. all of this totally ends that threat whatever it is.
Hey Leo, is there any kind of app or chrome add on to stop you from entering a phishing link’s website? Or a blocker that immediately stops you from entering? Please tell me as I am worried of getting a phishing link.
I was in a website and accidentally clicked on the ad and it showed me “your personal information may be at risk” i was stunned after some min or sec? I got out of that website and closed the tap from google, is everything going to be okay? What should I do or what should I look out for?
I accidentally clicked on a phishing link in a spam text. I didn’t give any card info, but since then my phone’s been getting bombarded with spam texts. Does this mean phone is hacked?😞
Hi Leo, if I accidentally clicked on an email Link that I thought is from my bank, and when a page open and it is still running, I manage to immediately close it as soon as I realise the website address is not right, do you think I am still safe or should I worry?
These are usually super obvious and easy to catch if you have basic critical thinking skills and doesn't take much time. Received a text message with a link posing as usps wanting me to "reschedule delivery" for a failed delivery I never ordered. The url was strange, so I copied the order number and pasted it in the official usps tracking page and it said invalid. Also, the other links at the bottom of page were unclickable and when long pressing on the "reschedule delivery" button it didn't give me any options to open link or anything definitely obvious.
I received a text message today from a number claiming to be Amazon. I was in the middle of playing something in the background and the text claimed that there was suspicious activity on my Amazon account. Oddly enough I actually ordered something a few hours earlier and I accidentally clicked the link but immediately closed the app, set my phone to airplane mode, closed the browser and all of that, ran some security scans and changed the passwords for a couple of applications on my device. It just happened so I'm hoping I'm just bugging out lol, I never shared any info
Hello! I was looking at some google images when my anti-virus popped up and said it had blocked a malware. After checking the other images I have been looking at all of them had a "Phishing" warning on them. Now my question is that. Am I safe from this "malware" as my anti-virus blocked it and should I be afraid about this "Phising" thing. As I have been clicking around on a lot of different images and I didnt know it could be dangerous.
There is no such thing as "safe". You can only safer or less safe. It sounds like things worked as they should, and you should exercise caution moving forwward.
Helpful info. I clicked on a phony USPS text link this week. I fell for it because I had just mailed a package via UPS 2 days before from the UPS store and thought it was legit (which makes me wonder if it was an inside job by someone at the UPS store where I mailed the package).
I have recently clicked onto the link which I got from an email. But it doesn't loads and I aware that it was phising and confirmed the mail address. Is there any problem I have also scanned my mobile device fully using a malware detector and it shows up clean. Was I still has to worry about it? Please reply to this. I'm really worried about it.
I scrolled through the comments to see if this has been answered. I'm curious about a page that was a broken link. The page wouldn't upload. Is there any danger to that? I changed my password immediately following.
Thank you. I was scared for a moment as I clicked on the fake YT video I was tagged becasue it just happened to be on the topic of my husband's industry (automobiles) so at first it looked like to *was* meant for me. I think I'm OK now. Thank you.
Phew ok I accidentally received a link from one of my friends that got hacked. It took me to a website, but I clicked out of it and didn’t give any info or anything.
So I accidentally clicked a grabify link in the description of a RUclips video, I didn’t sign into anything but I did click a button that led me to a link to subscribe to a person. I didn’t subscribe to them and I didn’t sign in, and I left the site. Am I in danger?

Sir last night I opened a 5 day prior link, it wasn't exactly a link, but an attachment. However after downloading it I wasn't able to open that attachment, it looked like a photo or something. What should I do, please help me ASAP . That mail I'd is linked with my bank accounts and every single important thing. And the sender's I'd also looked a bit suspicious. I couldn't understand what to do, I just removed my maid I'd from my phone.
Hey Leo, I got a text message from what I thought was my bank. I forgot about it and clicked on the link that was sent the next day. All it said was “page not found”.

I went to a website to download RUclips videos so I can download one of my videos. When I entered the website it says to paste link and I can download it my video, so I did. It opened another page to confirm if I was a bot but i closed it. When I went back on the website it showed my video there and a download button. When I clicked download it showed many pop-ups and stuff but I didn't click on any of them. My video I wanted to download did actually download to my gallery but im wondering if it also downloaded a virus or a malware with it. I also want to know if RUclips download websites are safe or not
You didn't answer whether if you click on a phishing email whether something can get installed on your system with no other actions by you. If that happens you are screwed. You only addressed case where something gets downloaded. Of course, you can just delete this download (perhaps after scanning it).

I clicked a phishing link but there was no obvious way to sign in and to my knowledge it didn’t download anything on my phone, can it steal my ip? Or what was this? (It was a fake steam community link)
I accidentally opened the link and it loaded an HTML page with nothing apparent. Is it possible that I have downloaded a Malware? There is no new download in my history, and Malwarebytes doesn't detect anything wrong.

hi, some months ago i accidentally pressed a link that said something like “clickme” while i was trying to block the account. once i clicked the link it sent me to safari but i closed out and refreshed safari before i could see anything on the site. even though it was a few months ago im still worrying about this. i didnt enter any information either. do i still need to run any malware tests? and if so how
The article / video pretty much answers your question. Run your anti-malware tools, and be cautious always. There is no such thing as "safe" for any of us .. only "safer" ... all we can do is be smart, act safely, and try to be a safe and secure as possible.

So i clicked on a link, but i didnt connect my crypto wallet when it asked after i clicked to buy, lets say some virus did get to my pc, how would i have before my account gets hacked? I tried doing a sweep on my pc as well, and also if you have a video thatd be nice. Thank you!
Hi Leo, what if, for example, you click on phishing link and it takes you to app store, or something like that, what happens next?
I got a paypal email that said suspicious login so i clicked it and noticed it wasnt right. If i closed it in like 5 seconds an i safe
Hello sir! I recently just clicked a link in intagram threads and lead me to an ad or something but i exited immediately. Am i safe?
There's no such thing as "safe". Please read: askleo.com/am-i-safe/
i was trying to download a game in a pirated site and it led me to a download page…i clicked download multiple times and it only led me to this chrome extension download. i never downloaded the extension it wanted me to download, but i’m worried that me clicking the fake download button installed malware. has malware entered my laptop?
No way to know for sure. Run a full anti-malware scan and remain vigilant.
I clicked a phishing link but there was no obvious way to sign in and to my knowledge it didn’t download anything on my phone, can it steal my ip? Or what was this? (It was a fake steam community link)
There's no such thngs as "stealing" your IP. If someone knows it, that's OK. There's no way to know what happened.
Well Ive accidentally clicked on a scam ad website on RUclips android and I immidentally exited before website loaded, Am i going to be okay?
Yes it was a Fortnite Android scam website and I accidentally pressed it.
Hey, what if I closed the site before it loaded?
I accidentally opened the link and it loaded an HTML page with nothing apparent. Is it possible that I have downloaded a Malware? There is no new download in my history, and Malwarebytes doesn't detect anything wrong.
Of course it's possible. Doesn't sound likely, though. Stay vigilant.
Im being honest, I'm here because i clicked on a link when i wasnt thinking straight if you know what i mean.
Hi, I feel ridiculous right now, but I fell for an obvious phishing RUclips ad and gave it my email. It also got my address and my birthday. I also downloaded a game app. Am I in trouble? I changed my password to that email immediately and did so on my recovery too.
Has anything bad or weird happened since then??
hi, some months ago i accidentally pressed a link that said something like “clickme” while i was trying to block the account. once i clicked the link it sent me to safari but i closed out and refreshed safari before i could see anything on the site. even though it was a few months ago im still worrying about this. i didnt enter any information either. do i still need to run any malware tests? and if so how
on safari i also have the “fraudulent website warning” thing on but i didnt get the warning, am i safe?
The article / video pretty much answers your question. Run your anti-malware tools, and be cautious always. There is no such thing as "safe" for any of us .. only "safer" ... all we can do is be smart, act safely, and try to be a safe and secure as possible.

i accidentally clicked a bitly link and it downloaded something,so i deleted it and changed my password,am i now safe or screwed?
You did the right thing, but you're never completely safe: ruclips.net/video/HFWlq8SzcsQ/видео.html
exacly one month ago i clicked on a link in messages that took me to a website, i didnt enter any details or passwords and i immediatly closed it. am i safe or screwed?
It's extremely UNlikely you are screwed. None of us are safe, there's no such thing: askleo.com/am-i-safe/
If you don't fall for the social engineering tactics then there is no problem.
While true, that's easier said than done.
no shit sherlock
it's not like the tactics are stagnant, they could look a work email and be really sophisticated now.
Great video. I need you're help. So I clicked this link on axident and then axidently clicked allow to something. I'm not sure what I allowed. But a virus thing popped up and told me virus with skull and crossbones in red, wants me to dowload a specific antivirus. ?? Any thoughts? Thank you
Don't. Run your own antu-malware tools immediately to try and get rid of what was installed.
