Been sleeping so badly and realised that yesterday I opened a spam email attachment on my phone I’m hoping that an up to date iPhone will protect me but that was really dumb.
Debating whether I should call my bank. Getting my cards changed will be a massive hassle so close to Xmas but so could the alternative…
Lately I’m struggling and just not with it.

call the bank , at minimum it set your mind ease
and why email on phone?
Only do that stuff at your desk, not on the bus, for example

Yes, I was rushing to handle something

I do email vetting on my phone as well, just deleting stuff I don’t want and leaving other stuff as unread.
Yeah, new interface for mail in iOS is terrible too, muscle memory is shot.
Thank goodness Alan Dye quit Apple. Hopefully Apple will roll back some of the changes in iOS26. Expect Facebook’s UI to get much much worse.

A friend talked me down and reminded me that the official sources aren’t too concerned about attachments. I’m still quite freaked out because there was new malware as of 2025, but I guess I monitor for now?
And call tomorrow if I’m still worried
