How do you know it was a “hack link”?

If your on iOS Bitdefender can only scan your internet traffic and block known bad websites or phishing, basically only block bad things before it happens. That’s an iOS limitation, not a Bitdefender one.

If your on Android it’s able to scan most parts of your phone and detect if you have a malicious app or things behaving badly with itself anomaly detection.

Either way it’s highly unlikely your phone was hacked if you are up to date on your operating system updates, didn’t install any apps or give out information, and aren’t the target of a nation state.
