untrusted website
Recently a friend messeged me about a website where you can get free games. I clicked the link and then roll to get a random game. It's obviously a scam so I didn't give them my details but still I did click on their website and then a button on their website so am I still good? Or do I need to step up my security?

P.S My friends account was stolen and that's why he sent me this and others

You should be fine as long as you didn't login to the site or downlaod anything.

Your friend on the other hand, needs to lock the account and do these;
- Scan your computer.
- Deauthorize all other devices.
- Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App.
- Change your password from a non compromised computer.
- Revoke the API key.

Usually these things only work by stealing login details (and as you have seen from there on spamming friends lists with more stuff). Won't hurt to run a check on your system nonetheless. Better to be a bit too careful.
Also... while it's understandable to be curious... clicking such stuff really isn't a great idea.

While I don't click on random links. But when a friend (i know him for a long time) sends me this I got a bit curious. He not only spamed me but also others so idk what I should do about that.

if you clicked the link through steam it would be better to take extra security measures cause better safe than sorry.
