I ran into the "your browser has been locked" virus/scam but on my iPhone, not my MacBook. I kept pressing cancel or OK until I just decided to reboot my phone. It seems to be fine now, but should I be fine? I don't want my phone to stop working all of a sudden.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.4
Unless the message reappears, you’re fine.

What should I do if it does happen again? And also, my information (usernames, passwords, etc) should be fine, right? I'm very paranoid about people knowing my information and I have no idea what this "scam" does to iPhones.
Just kill the browser and move on. And stop surfing 'shady' web sites.
iPhone virus/scam?
