Using CleanMyMac 3 has not cleared these messages that come into my iMac.
Other warnings come also, iCloud is being hacked... Mac OS: The system is in danger!... Bank account: Security... Gmail Alert: your account is being hacked....
Closing Safari, clearing the history and cache has not helped.
Any other solution?
iMac 21.5″
FWIW, I suggested posting an EtreCheck report because "CleanMyMac 3" is 8 years old and it would be surprising if it even ran in Ventura.
As far as the "warnings", open Safari > Setiings… > Websites > Notifications and empty the list.

Yes - Remove CleanMyMac 3 aka BrickMyMac
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, is an invitation for disaster.
Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale. What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions
1 - Disk Cleaner
This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac “
Read some of the first 600 posting and arrive at your own conclusions.
Add on here
Some users ( not ALL ) who us the CMM software are also prone to using Third Party Security Software
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions
Third Party Security Software
This will include BitDefender ,
This will included Norton Antivirus
Webroot ,
ESET ,
Avira ,
If you got this when surfing, it's a scam ... ignore it and try and avoid that site.
What other evidence do you have your Mac was "hacked"?
CMM is essentially malware in its operation disrupting your system to serve no purpose. You need to uninstall it using the developer's instructions. That same goes for any 3rd party fixer, AV, cleaner, optimizer and etc.
Install EtreCheck and post the report. Allow Full Disk Access.
Use the Additional Text icon to paste in the report.
The report may reveal something.
