Hacking pop up

“Tracked by the hacker”? Like…. There’s ONE HACKER out there? Just one? Oh my. I hope we find them soonest.

But seriously, as stated above, this is an advertisement, and advertisements and pop-ups including words like “virus” and “hacker” are best ignored.

There are lots of sketchy advertisements and scams around.

Here are some examples from Apple ➡️ Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

"Hacking pop up: Has anyone had this pop up on their screen when browsing internet? I didn’t click the link, I closed the tab in browser."

Look at the domain in your screenshot - it is not apple.com. It is a scam - report it to Apple. Go Here: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip

It's an ad trying to scare you into buying useless software.

Ignore it or install an ad blocker.

There’s no need to change your Apple ID password with these advertisements.

I had a very similar pop-up on my iPhone about 1/2 hour ago. It's scary as it claims that the phone is hacked and all your personal contact list, photos, etc. will be made public. I ignored it and then changed my iCloud password.
