Clicked a sketchy ad on my S23 Ultra… Should I be worried?

General
1

I keep my bank account and other sensitive info in the secure folder. What steps should I take?
Is Samsung Knox enough for security?

That popup is likely just a scare tactic meant to get you to contact them for a payment that isn’t necessary.

As long as you didn’t click on the WhatsApp link, you should be fine.

What actually happened was -

*I clicked the ad by mistake and it opened a new tab, but I closed it before it fully loaded. That’s all that happened.

The WhatsApp part was just to illustrate the kind of popup it was.

You’re good, don’t worry about it with that clarification.

I think that might be clickjacking? Wait, I think that’s more about videos that play ads when clicked.

Anyway, hopefully, I’m all clear, thanks for the response!

If you’re thinking about Kaspersky, maybe just throw your phone in the sewer instead.

They’ve had a questionable background recently. Just look them up.
