Is it possible for a Google Document to contain potential malware that can be downloaded upon opening the link? Please help me! Here's my story:

 

 

Someone send me a Google Doc link (a client from fiverr). In it was his discord name/Skype ID to better communication.

After I opened the link I got suspicious because why would someone send a Google Doc just to let me know about his discord name.

I quickly scanned the link in virustotal and found out it contains... Fishing? I didn't understand

Although fishing attacks from what I know requires you to log in into a fake login page, but the link is 100% a Google domain+it didn't ask to login or something like that.

So here comes the question, am I being affected/did my pc download malware, Even though it's an official Google Doc link?

Please help me out! Thanks

 

Here's the link, DO NOT OPEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, if it's a malware. I don't want someone else to get affected by it :

Never heard of malicious google docs before tbh. That could simply be a false-positive from just one scanner. What I would assume is they're sending a google doc link that contains their contacts and perhaps something to do with their fiverr like prices for what they're offering etc

Idk really

It's seems really weird

I am the seller btw and in fiverr he could easily just send me his contact info. (We were chatting there so it's not like the messaging was limited or something

I start a deep scan onto my pc and change the password of my important accounts

Tbh it's really scary if this turns out to be an exploit to affect people with malware. You can't even trust your customers if you work online lol. Or probably just me being super obnoxious ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At most there is a small chance he could've gotten your email if you have it public on your Google account. That's it.
