I’m just reading some articles on the internet and saw an article that says that there’s found a New prime number. Is that true? Do we last week have found a New one?

Yes. $2^{77,232,917}-1$ with $23,249,425$ digits found in the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS)
See https://www.mersenne.org/primes/press/M77232917.html for the announcement
Finding a new prime number is not something that you'll see in the news. What happened a few days ago was that it was found a prime number larger than any other known prime number.
