08/21/21 my iphone was hacked
I dont know if this is a true threat or not. I went to use my browser to look something up and a message came up inside a box tited: Apple Security; Below it says Hackers are watching you. It says, "Your apple iphone connection has been hacked and someone is watching you! Please do not close this page. If you don't fix this in two minutes the hacker will reveal your identity and send your browsing history and front-facing camera photos to everyone in your contacts!
Then instructions say toclick on the "Connection Protection" 2) you will be redirected the App store, 3) Install and run the recommended protection app to recover your Apple iphone.
I didnt do this but i went into my App store and this 'Privatos' came up for me to download.
Also a white box came up on my internet page over the above notice sayin: (17) System notifications
Read important notices about your IOS device. I am supposed to click 'OK'
Is this a real threat? Is this Privatos a trusted app for security? thanks for help
iPhone 6s, iOS 12
