Q: Can a scammer hack an iPad with just the iPad serial number
AN alert came up on my iPad while I was using safari and it said I had a virus and I needed to call a specific number to resolve the problem. I called and hey asked me for the iPad serial number and I gave it to this person and after it seemed suspicious so I hung up. They still have my serial number so I was wondering if they can hack into the iPad with just the serial number?
iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2

That serial number is linked to your iPad. The call is a scam!
If you have a passcode setup your on your iPad, even though they have the serial number it should not make any difference.
If you haven't set one up, do so immediately > Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
