iPhone 8 hacking warning message

I visited a site named www.microtech.com for a company located in Boca Ratón

and got the screen below. After that my iPhone had two glitches: while entering a new contact it suddenly got out of that screen and while playing a video on WhatsApp I got out too. Have I been hacked.

FL and got these messages

That popup is a scam. Unless your iPhone is jailbroken, you could only have installed something from the App Store. Did you install anything as the result of that message?


It's unlikely, unless you installed something as a result of that messages, that any problems you're having are the result of that popup. Have you tried restarting your phone?

I am worried for the iPhone has acted out. It cancelled abruptly the process when I was inputting a contact and when I was displaying a video from WhatsApp. Not normal behavior that I had experience before. Also, could you help me get rid of the messages on Safari? I get ride of Safari and open it again and gets to the same message...
