Last night I got an email that appeared to be from the MS Store saying that some Xbox Series Xs were in stock. I clicked the link like an idiot because I had signed up for a legitimate program with MS before. Anyway the link opened my browser to a blank page and nothing appeared to happen. But I can see the contents in the link when I “copy link”. Is there anywhere I can go to have someone help me know what the link code is doing?
FYI I am on Android and clicked on link in Outlook mobile which opened Edge browser.
EDIT: Sorry I should mention that I did not have Avast installed when I clicked the link as I had recently gotten a new phone and forgot! So bonus question…would Avast have stopped this link from activating or would it offer detection in my inbox? I have since installed Avast and it says everything is cool with my system.
I also forgot one important piece of info. I noticed a phishing email from my wife (I can tell from the header…no, I did not open) and I uninstalled Outlook for good measure.
Best to delete any spoofing email from your inbox.
Avast Antivirus includes built-in features like Web Shield, which protects you from spoofed websites, and File Shield, which protects you against malicious files on your device.
