[QUOTE="Lucard, post: 980768, member: 94496"] I got an email supposedly from Microsoft Bing, and using my Android device, I ended up clicking the thumbs down icon to unsubscribe. Only after that did I think it might be a fake email. The email address is [EMAIL]hello@email.bing.com[/EMAIL]. After clicking on the icon I was taken to the site with the following URL: bingemail2.azureedge.net Using the desktop (Windows 11) and placing the mouse cursor over the same icon (I didn't click on it this time), the URL that appears starts with [URL]https://www.bing.com/email/click/[/URL]... (and continues ). I don't know why on Android an URL appears (already after clicking) and on the desktop a different one appears (on hover). I use Bitdefender Mobile Security and I noticed a message at the bottom of the screen when I clicked on the link, but it wasn't an alert message blocking the screen. It was a quick message, like the ones that appear after scanning a new app, but I couldn't read it. I didn't fill out any form and I didn't even notice any downloads at the time. I wonder if it is a fake email. And if so, could my device be compromised? According to a scan done with Bitdefender (paid) and Avast (free), there is no infection. [/QUOTE]
