SPAM EMAIL ?

hey guys just anting some advice, i received a text message from my cousin earlier stating they had received an email from me, with a link asking them if they recognised "this couple" .

she didnt click on it as my name had been shortened to a four letter, wheras its usually a seven letter first name DOT my surname followed by  sky"dot".com.

The email address was the shortened first name dot surname.

She then right clicked on "my name" and a long series of letters forward slashes ect ending in "vn"

which im presuming is vietnam !!  - now she was workied they have hacked into my account - but i told her they're Phishing you not me. but her huisband said my phone may have been compromised (its an iohone 12 running ios 17.3.1

most of my main amazon/ebay/banking apps on my iphone including FB have the 2FA linked to my mobile number and i havent received any notifications - just wondering - if i need to change SKY yahoo mail password as on my laptop it has 2FA but the app is just permanently on. just wondering if anyone can assure me if im right and its doubtful ive been compromised.

thanks in advance

If you have 2FA turned on then I doubt they have got into your account because they would not have visibility of the code which is only sent to your mobile so it does sound like her account might have been accessed instead.
