Hi, I opened the attachment, put in the password but it was incorrect and I also did not send anything. Is everything all right?
I foolishly left my password but didn't submit anything. Will I be at risk?
HI I opened the attachment but did not put any information on the attachment and did not send anything. Am I still at risk ?
