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.

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.
