Is this pop up from Apple legit?

More than once when trying to watch a video online I get a pop up claiming to be from Apple wanting me to engage a vpn program. Today it said a “hacker may be monitoring me”. I didn’t proceed. Is it legit?

No, it is phishing, Apple never wants you to use VPN except for its intended purpose, to access a private business or school network (that’s implied in the name: “Virtual PRIVATE Network”). Ignore it. Ideally, don’t go to sites where this happens.
