My info was found on the dark web breach?

I have McAfee and my partner said they got a pop up notification saying 'you're info's on the dark web, action required, your info was stolen in 1 breach, let us guide you to become safer again.' There's like a fingerprint icon beside it. Then a 'click see what was stolen' option below it. They didn't click this. 

I'm so confused because I couldn't find any indication of this upon clicking McAfee afterwards. What should I do?
