A few days ago, I also received the same message from a friend with a link to a fake youtube page, but unlike you, I actually clicked it despite intuitively knowing that it was malicious. Seemed like a "regular" phishing attempt but I now wonder if it is more than that, having read this article.

Probably not a good idea to click a link you know is malicious, you never know what 0-Day they might have
That's what I keep my old Blackberry Z10 for. If I get something weird or want to go to dangerous places on internet (for research obviously) I use that thing. I'm pretty sure know one writes a 0-day for a 0.0% market share device.
Is your blackberry on your WiFi network? I’m guessing it hasn’t had a security patch in several years?

Be aware that an attacker could be automatically looking for exploitable devices just like z10 that and using that as a jump box into your network.

I use it mostly at home where it sits in the guest wifi(all connections between devices prohibited)
This is great, finally a use for old tech!
Right. 0-days did not not cross my mind. Until now.
Also, don't browse outside of your own VM...
