Hey everyone! I've run into a strange situation where I was using my phone, and out of nowhere, Google popped up claiming that I'd had a data breach and that I was about to get hacked in four minutes. I ran a security scan with my Samsung's built-in tools and it says everything is fine. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is this alert legit?

If it popped up while you were gaming, it’s likely just an ad trying to lure you into a scam. Those alerts are super common. They prey on fear to trick you.
Honestly, alerts like that are generally just fake. They're designed to scare you into clicking something that could harm your device. You're better off ignoring them.
Yeah, it was weird because it opened a new tab while I was in the game. I've never seen that before.
