So basically, I was on Outlook.com (the website, not the Outlook app) on the Google Chrome browser when I made the dumb mistake of clicking on a sketchy attachment (named exactly "v .tif"). The reason I clicked on it was because I was under the illusion that it would simply preview it in the browser, rather than initiate/attempt a download of that suspicious file. So anyway, I clicked it and a popup immediately came up asking if I wanted to download the file. Obviously, I clicked "Cancel", and after clicking that button, the popup quickly went away but underneath the name of the attachment listed in the email, it said "Downloaded" even though I could not find the file anywhere on my computer even after searching the direct name. And it was not listed in the Incognito (I was using Incognito mode at the time) download history or anywhere at all. And either way, I didn't open the TIF file. And after turning off my internet and running a Malwarebytes Free scan, it says nothing was detected. Should I still be worried? Thank you so much for any help, I truly appreciate it!
EDIT: For clarification, I am running macOS Sonoma.
