Accidentally clicked a download link [Leak]?

My Russian colleague was at my laptop this lunchtime and read a report from the newspaper "Welt" that 50 million Turkish citizenship data were published on the internet. Afterwards, he searched for the internet site in which this file is located and in fact he found the site and downloaded it over my home network. Although I have aborted the download immediately, but I'm afraid that you now become aware of me, because he has not used VPN.

Do I have something to fear there? I do not want to have anything to do with anything and also get no stress.

The report: https://www.welt.de/...nline.html

You can access the site with a normal internet browser.

Does this happen to me?

va

Did he use a normal browser or gate?

El

Normal browser

Ha

Nice, that you set dubious links here.

va

And how often does it happen that you or he uses onions?

El

You do not have to click this, but I think there are people with more experience.

El

That was the first time. I have nothing to do with it.

va

Then you have nothing to fear. There are always times the first time. If you do something like that every day then you will also be watched

El

Okay thank you very much! I myself have nothing to do with anything anyway and do not want to do anything with it and do not make me criminal. But my colleague was the first time only briefly on my laptop and this was spontaneous, without which we now follow these interests.

Would your great friend know about onions addresses he would have also used tor but that is just negligent to use a normal brwoser.

El

Yes, exactly, completely agree. But nothing will happen to me, right? Have extreme paranoia in such matters and great fear that the police will be at the door.

As I said it can always happen that one comes through a link to dodgy spam advertising or special pages. As long as you do not do it every day, everything is fine. In addition, something like that lasts up to 3 months before they visit you.

Lo

WARNING:

This question contains questionable link (https: \\ torc5 …) do not click on it!

Has already been reported!

El

Calm down! Have the link removed. The link was posted to show the experienced person which site is not for the layman.

Gr

Really now? What about those who do exactly as you do?

El

Have the link removed now. I'm so sorry.

Lo

I did not click the link, either. However, as you can see from your "colleague" there are enough lay people who are unfamiliar with and visit such sites. I just wanted to warn them.

El

I'm sorry, you're absolutely right.
