I mistakenly visited a bad website, but is it safe to use Linux Mint version 21 now? You have an updated system.

Probably? We lack the exact URL details, making it hard to determine its function. Unless the platform takes advantage of a browser flaw (like a drive-by download), simply browsing should generally not be dangerous. The reports label it as a phishing site, indicating it mimics another service to steal account data. As long as you didn’t attempt to log in, you’re likely safe. The findings appear based on one flag out of over 24, which might also be a false alarm.
