  1. Nope, did not tap link or reply. Just sent you the link. Thank you for all your help! Glad I installed the Malwarebytes program, and will definitely be utilizing it now. I get credit card fraud fairly often, and this helps me ease my mind that it isn't coming directly from my computer Thanks!
  2. Well, there was also nothing actually in my downloads folder after the "download". I clean the folder out regularly, and immediately after I saw the "download" take place, I checked my downloads folder. There were no new files. My theory on the text is that they may have wanted me to follow the link included, which would then further infect my phone. This text literally came within 30 seconds of the download. Here is the text: Ι.О. Ⲥ၀mҽԁy ϳаᴨ16 (Google link with shortcode here) ᴛхt ℚՍІΤ tᴏ еᴨԁ Are there any additional features other than just the Malware scan I should be performing on my devices? Is it possible that something downloaded, installed, and deleted the file that was downloaded from the internet on its own?
  3. Hello, I am on a MacBook Pro using MacOS Mojave. Yesterday, I experienced a drive-by download from a website. In safari, I saw the little icon hop into the downloads bin, as it does when you download something. I never clicked on anything, or gave any permission to download something. Moments after that, something much more unusual happened that I can not seem to find a similar case anywhere. I received a text message from an unknown number saying something about comedy, and had a google shortcode in it. Obviously, I did not click on the shortcode. At the moment of the drive-by download, I had many applications open. This included iMessage. My concern is of course, was happened and how at risk am I? I downloaded Malware Bytes, and performed a scan. No malware/viruses/etc were found. Since I received a text, it seems that my information MUST have been compromised to some degree. Should I take more extreme measures than just running Malwarebytes and forgetting about it?
