Clicked on Phishing Link!

Hello,

I accidentally clicked on a Phishing link that was sent through text msg. I closed the tab right as I noticed it was a scam. I never entered any information. Is it possible to get malware from just clicking the link? Has my IP address been exposed?

Hopefully nothing happened.

Here is a "What to do" article from Apple.
