This is a scam. Apple will never throw a popup window on your desktop about data breaches, then tell you to go to a certain website, of all things.
However, the fact that it appeared on your desktop (and not on a website while browsing the Internet or anything) points to some scareware/adware on your computer, which was likely unintentionally downloaded with another software or file. Would you be able to post a screenshot of the warnings?

This sounds like a very common phishing scam, but without more details it's hard to be sure.
