I get constant messages such as; Gmail alert; 'account has been hacked', 'Critical virus alert', 'Your iCloud is being hacked', 'System Mac OS is infected!''

I only get it on my iMac (macOS Monterey version 12.7), which is up to date. Safari 17.0. Ziggo safe online (=F-Secure) scan runs without errors.


It are 10 different messages which appear in random order.

Those are scams. Do not open, report and delete.

macOS is well protected without using third party AV, Protecting, Cleaning junk-ware like Ziggo.
