Ignore it.
Lots of scary words sure (“HACKER! VIRUS! HACKED!”), and a call to action, but if the advertiser here actually had hacked you, then they would not need you to follow their provided directions.
Yes, this is an advertisement.
Advertisers, politicians, and propagandists all use these and other similar advertising techniques. Fear works.

All such messages are scams, presented by criminals. Do not interact with the page or the sender. Do not download anything based on such messages. Close the offending page and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.

Scammers gonna scam.
Swipe from the top right (on most recent iPhone models) to open control center and swipe off the sound.
Or hold the down-volume.
