I just received a pop up message when accessing a site on Google saying that my phone had been hacked.
There was no way to move away from the screen with hitting the ok button. Sensing this was a scam I went to settings and deleted all website data from Safari.
is there anything else that I need to do to protect my account and personal data?
thanks in advance

Being aware that an iPhone, unless jailbroken, cannot be hacked remotely if you ignore and DO NOT respond/click on any link that it might contain, see this support article:--> Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
To feel more comfortable, in addition to deleting the history and cookies from Safari, you can change your Apple ID password.
