It is very common to receive messages that say you have been hacked and they are all Scams. You iPhone has very good security and you do not need to worry about a virus or trojan infecting your system, as it is locked down in a read only volume that cannot be changed.


The only thing you need to concern yourself with is to make sure your do not give out your Apple ID Password and don't fall for the scare tactics you see in messages or emails. Also be wary of links at these location that could take you to a site that looks similar to a banking site or fake apple support site trying to get personal financial information or your Apple ID Password.
