I was using safari and i got a message that said that I was at risk of getting hacked. It said something about my computer being on an older version of Yosemite and it was vulnerable. Is this fake?

User uploaded fileUser uploaded fileI need to know if i should take any action to clear my computer. I was using a private window while this popped up. I am concerned that I could get hacked and my bank account information and personal pictures could be intercepted. Please help! I did edit the first picture to cover the ip address and location.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), null
