An article on the Cursor portal explains how to act after clicking a phishing link. Author Tomer Adoni describes how scammers create fake websites that look like real ones and trick users into revealing passwords, card details, and confirmation codes. If the link has not been opened yet, it is recommended not to click it, take screenshots, and lock the account. If a password was entered, it should be changed immediately, two-factor authentication enabled, and active sessions checked.
