TAKING ACTION

What to Do After Clicking a Suspicious Link

Respond promptly and give your security team useful context about what happened.

Pause the interaction

Do not enter further information. Record what you clicked and what happened, then report it through your organization’s established process. Clicking a link does not by itself establish whether an account or device was compromised.

Explain the extent of the interaction

Tell the team whether you entered information, downloaded something, approved a prompt, or sent money. Those details help them decide what to investigate and contain.

Use verified recovery channels

If credentials were entered, use the genuine service’s account controls and follow your security team’s instructions. A serious incident may need investigation beyond a password change. Avoid returning to the suspicious page to test it.
