Ipad Safari Hacking

I received this message on my 2012 iPad in safari:


Due to recent incident of the hacking Safari on iPad, we"ve released a new Shield for Safari and it's compatible with every Apple device.


  • Installing shield is required to avoid stealing your personal data and charge credit cards!


To be protected from cybercriminals click on 'Install' immediately. Download official Shield for Safari from App Store (takes 15 second), open the app and activate Advanced Shield. See support.apple.com/safari-hacking/ for more information.


If you don't install it and activate Advanced Shield your personal and banking information on Apple iPad will be at risk.


Install Button Cancel Button


I did neither.

It's an advertisement for a product you don't need and doesn't do anything to protect your iPad. You might want to clear Safari cache by going to Settings - Safari - Clear history and website data.
