Data leak question

On Reddit a poster sid he got the message about the data leak. The message was:

"Some of your passwords have appeared in a data leak, putting those passwords ar high risk of compromise"

In addition it says:

"iPhone can help you resecure those accounts.

Notice the spelling of resecure. Not in Apples dictionary.

Some posters continue to say it's a valid notification. I say they are wrong.

Password in data leak notification I received a notification on my iphone X about half an hour ago to say my password had appeared in a data leak. It listed the sites/passwords I needed to change. How do I find the notification again? Have looked in password and security, bot on my phone and my Mac - no joy. I just need to find it so that I can change my compromised passwords. Any help gratefully received. Thanks

Yes I did the apple 15.3.1 update and the phone had a message with a key that said some of your passwords have appeared in a data leak and my I phone can help me . Is this a new feature or spam? When I did the 15.3.1 update my iPhone had a key that said compromise some of your password have appeared on a data leak is this a real feature or a scammer.
