I just opened a PDF attachment then learned that their email had been hacked. I didn't click the link. [View all]

It showed that it was sent from a colleague‘s email address, but it actually was not from that colleague.Any suggestions for what I might do to Preserve some security?

I’m on an iPhone, opened the pdf attachment in Gmail

I’m sorry to have to ask a silly question. I sure appreciate you smart people!
