The message is a scam. Ignore it.

Hello ~ I can assure you *stedman1* is in fact correct. It is fake. It is a criminal hoping to lure you into providing information such as your Apple ID or credit card info. Take a read through this info:

Yes, it is fake.
Oh I was so worried, because when I got the notification there was something underneath that I had to click to get rid of the notification, like an “okay” button or something like that. I clicked that and then closed the website immediately. So I don’t have to do anything right now? Is there a way I can be sure that I’m not being hacked?
No but you would still be worried, how can I know then if I’m being hacked? Is there a way to find out?
You really think that? Because I got the notification after I clicked on a link on Pinterest. I was like searching for a dress in Pinterest and then found a link, I clicked it and then got that notification about the hacker so I closed it immediately. Do you really think it’s fake?
Hello again ~ You are fine and I can see why you would worry. Coming here to ask and put your mind at ease was the best thing for you to do. Just be alert and report these issues. Some of these messages are very realistic and can panic and convince some into the scam . Read through all that info I posted. Being educated is your very best defense.

Oh thank you 🙏🏼
You're not being hacked. If someone was really hacking you, do you really think they would announce it?
That would be like someone calling you and announcing they are breaking into your house.
Keep updating to the current version of iOS, don't jailbreak your iPhone, and don't give out your passcode, passwords and other personal information and you will be fine.
