Clicked on Hacker Link, Help!

[christy.]

Thank you in advance to anyone who tries to help me. I'm a novice and trying to search the Internet for mac information now, but its overwhelming.

On January 1st, I was on Pinterest, clicked a Pin link, which lead me to an oval that said "Admin" I believe, this I unfortunately clicked, and lead me to a page that scrolled "You've been hacked with skulls etc etc. and some Chinese or Japanese music played in the background.

I have an Imac OX S

I use it for personal use. Email, shopping. Pretty basic. Changed almost all passwords except for some without bank info.

Spoke with Apple Tech and went over my security to be sure I was set up properly.

If anyone, has any advice, tips, anything, on how I can find out if someone is 'in' my computer etc. etc. please share your knowledge. I'm scared someone is watching me now through the computer (keylogging?) Any information will be helpful!

Thank you ( :

It was a prank or something. Unless you entered your admin password in a standard Mac OS X password entry field, there is nothing wrong.
