I was searching on Firefox and encountered a pop up “your iPhone has been hacked” and an ‘OK’, which you are encouraged to use based on immediate attention being required.
This pop up has frozen my app and I cannot close this tab nor can I access any other tabs I have in use. Troubleshooting tried- closed the app several times and also turned my iPhone off and back on and get the same result. I cleared my website search history and use the following security’s settings: prevent cross tracking, Hide IP address: (from) trackers and websites, fraudulent website warning, not secure connection warning. I am using the iPhone 14 Pro Max and am running on the most current iOS: 18.5. These settings are for safari .
Has anyone experienced this situation and know how to close the hacker message tab and what else one might need/want to do in response to this pop up?
Any advise would be most appreciated!
Kindly, LaL
