Was Safari message about data leak on Pinterest and joann.com legitimate

In the past few days, when I went on Safari, a box popped up on the home page of Safari warning of a "data leak" on my Pinterest and joann.com accounts. Was this legitimate?

Is is this a scam or a legit warning? I was browsing safari and suddenly I was brought to a website with apple security In the top, the message said ” your iPhone has been infected with the Trojan virus, if you do not take these proper steps then your data could be sold to third parties.” When I clicked on fix this it brought me to the App Store to some random app. Is is this a scam or a legit warning?

Is this Apple security warning legit? My husband entered a web page and got an Appel security warning. But the web page that was used is bigsecureeu.com and it looks very suspected. Is this Appel or hacked? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

It depends. Apple posts notifications from accounts that were leaked by other parties. See, Password Monitoring - Apple Support If that's the notice, it is legit. Keep in mind that you'll want to navigate to the sites to change your information.
