If you think your outlook account was compromised, change the password and set up 2 factor authentication to lock it down. Your phone has not been “hacked”. The message is bogus. They can’t even get it right when they tell you you’ve been infected. Trojans and viruses are to radically different things. There are no known viruses in the wild that can infect an iphone that has not been jailbroken, and a Trojan would require you to actively bypass the built in security on your phone by jailbreaking it, then actively download an app from outside of the App Store.
