This morning while reading an article in safari the browser page changed. And claimed
”Apple (with logo) had detected malware “ claims a number and said like 67% compromised”it had a countdown going for me to click the button to remove.
I closed all pages and cleared my history and Cookies.
Was this a scam. Does the iPhone 11 do that?
mad I didn’t take a screen shot of it.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
It was a scam. You did the right thing.

If your web browser displays annoying pop-ups
While browsing the web, if you see a pop-up or alert that offers you a free prize or warns you about a problem with your device, don't believe it. These types of pop-ups are usually fraudulent advertisements, designed to trick you into giving the scammer personal information or money.
Don't call the number or follow the links to claim the prize or fix the problem. Ignore the message and simply navigate away from the page or close the entire window or tab.
