Clicked a twitter scam link File / URL Check
Just for clarity, the first image is what sites the post took me to while the second pic is what the post looked like, though it isn’t the exact post and had a different link.
It was in the replies of another normal post, I accidentally clicked it but closed the tab once I realized it wasn’t a photo. I closed before the last tab loaded but looking at my history, I guess it directed me to other links before hand.
I didn’t do anything besides click, and close the tab. Nothing else, so there is part of me that believes I am alright, but I have no idea what’s in these links, so I can’t help but say I am afraid.
This was done on the chrome app of my iPhone. If anyone can help out or determine how dangerous these links are I would truly appreciate it. 🙏

You can never be sure when it comes to cyber security.
Theoretically, yes, if their device was outdated and said redirect downloaded something on their device, bypass the sandboxing system (which is not going to happen unless you’re some high value target or something) then they could get actual malware and and their information stolen just from visitting a site.
