Suspicious Pop-up with my name

Today I was doing something with my IPhone 8 and all of a sudden I get a pop-up with my name (spelled correctly) the words “F•ck You Donald Trump” and then my phone (iPhone 8)’s six digit code so:

Kathryn Fuc€ You Donald Trump 123456

i freaked out because of it being my password. I quickly quit everything and immediately changed my iPhone password.

I don’t remember for sure what app I was using at the time (either Twitter or Google or??)

I’ve had the phone for about 2 months purchased directly from Apple.

Since it happened I did some digging but couldn’t find any thing about my specific problem (the code number and the hysterical thought I would be labeled onto the rolls of dissidents on the upcoming civil war 2 (joking)

I have said some not so nice things on Twitter regarding the intelligence of our president, but I don’t think I have spelled out in that manner.

It's hard to see how someone could get your passcode, unless you used an easy to guess one such as your birth date, but iPhones can be hacked. You should call Apple and ask them about this. Use the Contact Support link at the top right of this page.

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken.

It also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable informations of your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.
