I am currently battling issues in my life and my phone is clearly being hacked. This is why I would love to be more involved in IT solutions. I am brain dumb to the Apple software. The iPhone X is the first iPhone I have ever used. Please help me understand what those mean.
iPhone X
Your phone is not 'rooted' (that's an Android process) and you haven't been hacked. The notice is talking about 'trust certificates' which identify a particular site or service as safe, and saying that one particular set has been delisted because it isn't safe. There is no action you need take and you are not at risk.

Just to clarify, a “root” security certificate is the level from which all other certificates derive their authority. This is like saying the Constitution is the root authority for all laws made by your government.
WoSign is the certificate issuer, so sites submit their certificates to it for distribution. WoSign is a Chinese company with a history of mismanagement and issues that failed to meet standards for certificate issuers (e.g. when some of their customers were negligent in updating their SSL certificates, WoSign just back-dated the old out of date certificate instead), so it’s no longer a trusted certificate source by iOS, MacOS, Windows, Mozilla.org, etc.

Why is my phone saying it is a rooted iPhone?
