I Googled Something Weird... Help!,, I'm I in Trouble?

Hey everyone, so this morning I was doing some research for a writing project (historical fiction, super interesting stuff). I was looking into, well, let’s just say some not-so-conventional medicine practices from the 18th century. You know, for authenticity and all.

Anyway, while I was searching for some obscure herbs and treatments, I might have stumbled upon a website with a… less-than-legitimate-sounding title. I swear I only clicked on it for a split second to see what it was about, then immediately hit the back button because it seemed sketchy. But now I’m a little paranoid!

Does accidentally clicking on something weird like that get you in trouble? I definitely wasn’t interested in whatever it was selling, just curious (and maybe a little freaked out). Anyone have experience with this kind of thing? Should I be worried?

Accidentally clicking on a sketchy website usually isn’t a major problem if you quickly leave the site and didn’t download anything or enter personal details. To be safe, run a malware scan on your computer, clear your browser history and cache, and monitor your accounts for any unusual activity. Keeping your security software up-to-date can also help protect against potential threats. If you notice anything suspicious, consider consulting a tech expert for additional peace of mind.
