I clicked on the FB messenger "is this you" hack. I wasn't thinking!

Pretty soon, the damn video was sent to all FB and Messenger friends.

I changed PW for FB and Messenger and notified FB and posted a warning on FB page. And sent each friend a message not to click on the video.

Any advise? Do I download a spyware protection or what?

I’m pretty bad at tech, so please advise me like I’m a 7 year old.

Thanks in advance!!

Edit to add that I use an iPad mini.

You didn't type in your apple user password to 'allow' anything to happen on your computer/ipad during all this, right?

If not, your computer is for sure fine.

You have put my mind to rest! I thank you, mr_lebowski.

It’s scary not knowing what I don’t know!!
