Is ‘your iphone was hacked and 14 viruses were found’ message true?

I was googling and I accidentally clicked an ad and i got a pop up that my iphone was hacked.

Is this message true? If so, how can i protect my phone from hacking?

iPhone hacked message, real or spam? My iphone 6S Plus screen indicated my phone had been hacked when I opened DuckDuckGo’s web search page. How do I know if it was valid or spam?

Instead, I closed the DuckDuckGo app. Can your iPhone actually be hacked and how can I protect my phone and files?
