Pop-up message said my iPhone has been hacked, what to do?

[Jerryrmack]

Hey y'all, I was doing a Google search and ended up on a different page that showed a pop-up message saying my iPhone was hacked. I haven't noticed any changes or odd activities on my phone, and I've got two-factor authentication enabled. Should I be worried about this?

As long as you did not click any links etc.. you should be OK. Most of these are just attempts to suck you in

For sure I do not click on them, was wondering if the hackers can get into my phone without even clicking. I'll ignore them. Thanks

It’s good that you haven’t noticed any odd activity and have two-factor authentication enabled, as it adds a strong layer of protection. Regarding the pop-up you saw, it might have been a scam trying to create panic. I recommend checking your iPhone’s security settings and ensuring your apps are up to date. Also, you might want to review cyber security compliance and best practices through resources like Immuniweb, which can help you assess your security posture and stay informed on potential risks. So try to chech this compliance in cyber security. Their insights are valuable for staying proactive in protecting your devices.
