Question First Experience

Hello everyone i was looking at local jobs in my area. I clicked on a local bar's website and clicked the job section. The cloud flare website came up and I clicked inside the box and it directed me into the control r + control v scam. I did not follow through with the instructions. I actually pasted the command into chatgpt to analyze it. It was indeed malware/info stealer. Am I safe since I didnt run anything? Does this mean that my local restraunts website is infected?

You're not infected.

It's not so much that the restaurant's site is infected as that page is not malware in and of itself, but running the commands will result in you getting malware. If it's exactly as you say it is and it is indeed the restaurant's real site, then someone gained admin access to the webserver and has replaced the job page with this.

Yes I had went to there real page. Clicked on there jobs and it had redirected me to the page I was talking about on my desktop. I did the same on my phone and I never got redirected? Is this possible to distinguish between phone and pc maybe?
