I was browsing webcomics on a website and when i clicked next page it suddenly redirected me a few times, and a pop up said I’d been hacked. I know there are fake scams like a blue screen that’s actually just a full screen website etc. I’m on 17.0, updating to 17.1 right now. Was it bogus? I’m going to keep my vpn on 24-7 from hence.

    No and don’t do what they say. Just close the page and keep doing what you’re doing

    It’s bogus, just close the page. You can use adblockers to get rid of them in the future.
