[QUOTE="AdamBull, post: 1034980, member: 100310"] Quick question, I am a super paranoid person so maybe it will sound pretty stupid. I am asking here specificaly for Android phones, through Intagram app in my case. So a profile followed me on instagram and just out of curiosity with my android phone I clicked on the link that was on the bio of this profile. I am 99% that the profile is fake. So when I clicked on the link, it redirected me to this website and I got a "website doesn't exist". I closed it immidiately. I know that some hackers use websites that if you just visit you can get hacked. So my question, can I get hacked this way ? Or it could be just a lucky stupid move by me and it really was just a fake link ? I ran also a paid antivirus and no malware was found. Like I said maybe it's a silly question as I am super paranoid. [/QUOTE]
