Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
there was a pop up message in Hebrew - iPhone has been compromised and I have 5 viruses on my device, it seemed from Apple, there was a button to uninstall them, and it lead to the AppStore, but I didn’t download it...Is it a scam ? How can I know if now theres a virus on my iPhone X now?
iPhone X, iOS 13
The phone was not jail broken, However I did tap on the link but Did not download the app even though it connected me to the App Store, is there a way of making sure there that there is absolutely nothing harmful on my iPhone that can steel my passwaords/documents etc. ?
iCloud Keychain is safe. Here are a coupe of articles that talk to security:

Yes, it's a scam and a poorly crafted one. There are no viruses that can affect your Mac and no one can know what is on your Mac remotely.

Thank you !
one last question... is it safe to save data such as username/ password on the iPhone keychain? I’ve changed all of my passwords everywhere because someone tried to use my C.C online, so I’ve canceled it ordered a new one and changed passwords on PayPal and Apple ID and every other account I have. For some of them I used the the suggestions that were offered by iPhone for strong passwords, and because they are impossible to remember- saved them on the keychain...
1. Yes.
2. Unless it's been jailbroken, you can just assume that there's no malware on it.

Nothing to worry about.
I said "Mac" previously because you posted in the Mac OS X Technology forums. I'll have this moved to iPhone.
