Ignoring Such a Message:
A site telling you that is no more than a scam. Your phone was not hacked, unless it has been jailbroken. So, if you did not interact with the site in any major, just let things be.
Did you Interact with it?:
Did you click anything when visiting the site? If so, then Security & Privacy would be of High-Concern here. If such is the case, then consider modifying your credentials, immediately. Pefroming the following is best at this point. So, Consider...
- Modifying: your login credentials (using both a New eMail and a New Password) for Apple and each and all sites
- Associating: a different method of payment to your account
- Enabling: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option
