Possible hack?

A message bubble popped up that my phone was being hacked and now I’m getting emails from my accounts like PayPal, Starbucks, etc., that my password has been changed or there is suspicious activity. I’ve changed my passwords, but I’m still getting emails that my password keeps getting changed. It all started a couple of days after the pop up.
