[LEFT]So lately I've been rethinking about an event which happened to me last summer where I was targeted by a Phisher which unfortunately I ended up falling a victim to. Immediately after I realized what happened I formatted my PC restarted my network and changed every settings through my mobile 3g.
My question is the only link I remember ever clicking on was a link sent to me through Twitch.tv and at the time I recall it definitely being https://www.imgur.com/a/blablabla link,of course when it redirected me I was on an imgur album but after awhile I noticed the breach.
Was the Attack Even Phishing? What were the possibilities?
The only information which could've possibly been compromised after me clicking the website was probably when I logged into my email,which was at the time saved on my browser so I doubt if it was a keylogger it would've registered the strokes for my mail address.
I'm writing this thread so hopefully I can understand what were the possibilities and how to defend myself from these from the future apart from the obvious case of not clicking random links sent from strangers.
Any Feedback would be Appreciated sorry for the long post.[/LEFT]
