When the pop up message displays “Your iPhone has been hacked…..” it only lets me click on OK. There is no way to ignore it. I either have to click OK or force close the app I am in (usually Google) and reload the app all over if I want to get back in. Is it okay to press the OK or do I need to close it out and reload?
It’s a scam. The best thing to do is to not react with it at all, if you need to close it out and re-open it then that’s the best thing to do.
This type of scam in a web browser is a maliciously crafted advertisement, I wouldn’t want to click OK because there is no way of knowing what payload is behind that action.

When this happens do not click ANYTHING in the alert; even though it says “OK”, it is not OK; it actually tries to install a JavaScript function that will cause the popup to return regularly. If there is a “Close” button, don’t click that either. If it does come back go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History & Website Data.
