safari security message

My safari displays the following message - "Compromised Password - your Asda.com password has been seen in a data leak, putting your account at risk. Safari can help you resecure your account." Sounds like a scam to me. Anyone seen similar, could it be genuine? Comments anyone

Safari can help you re-secure your account." Is this a scam / phishing pop-up -- or a real concern? [Link Edited by Moderator]

It is a scam pop-up. Ignore it. Don't interact with it.
