There was no Trojan sent. This is a popup that comes from a website and there is not truth to it. After he closes Safari, he needs to go to Settings>Safari, and Clear History and Website data and just avoid the website it came from. It is a javascript.

Such popup messages are scams. Always.
Close the offending tab.
Avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
There are no viruses that affect Mac OS and no one can know what is on your Mac, not even Apple. It's a scam. What difference who sent it?
Obviously yes but this Trojan was sent to him innocently enough from his mom regarding a news related article from Twitter. Smh
