How dangerous are email phishing links and youtube and twitter links?

The scammer has 1001 ways to get what he wants, if another message goes to spam, he will try a new way to get the message into the main box. but in my opinion it doesn't matter if you click on the link, as long as you don't enter your confidential information such as passwords, passwords and others. I often click on phishing links, open them in the browser, then close them, or if I don't like them, I immediately put them in the trash.

Spam emails can go directly into your inbox instead of your spam folder, things have changed and attackers are also learning new evil ways, the only way to beat this is to only click on emails that you are expecting, nothing else matters, only open emails that's for you..

Every blessed day, hackers and scammers are gradually getting smarter, they are looking for more confusing ways to deceive their victims, if you want to be strict about it then you must make some sacrifices, like abandoning Telegram and Twitter, these two are the most target by hackers and scammers.

Say good bye to airdrops and free tokens online, avoid any strangers and only reply people that you know in the real world, don't click links under any YouTube video that you just watched, it does not matter if the channel on YouTube is a genuine one, like I've said scammers always have their ways.

So I'm sure lot of people are getting those phishing emails from fake ledger and things like that.  Now if you open the email, there is no issue right?  However, if you click on the link that is in the email, do you get malware or keylogger or virus? 


Now if you click on the link and close it, is your computer safe or not?  Heard mixed reviews on this.  Now if you have kaspersky or norton, would that remove anything on the computer?

Concerning the hardware, as long as you do not initiate a transaction that is you sign a transaction on that site your seeds are safe but if it is a device it is not safe from things like malwares mostly notably the clipboard one. The reason why it is warned not to click on any malicious links Is because some people mostly newbies will be track into fiddling their information. So better stay off the links to avoid just anything from hackers

I don't trust any antivirus works fine. The few times I had it on system a few years ago, it didn't work fine. Despite antivirus being installed, I still had virus infection on my system. Some said it was because the virus was stronger than the antivirus I had installed. Whatever that trash meant. I'm talking about the era when late John McAfee's (yes, the same McAfee who later went into crypto) antivirus was in vogue.

I have a premium product that includes AV, firewall and many other options that can be useful, and I can't remember when I had a problem with any virus/malware. A good AV is certainly not some cheap semi-finished product or even a free one that does not protect you at all, but only spies and sells your data.

In addition, ask yourself how you picked up this virus in the first place, because all those who search for pirated software, torrents and visit various suspicious websites are far more exposed than others.
