I haven't logged into the site in awhile, but just now I did and Chrome alerted me that this site address was in a data breach and suggested I change my password.
 
Not that I have heard unless it just happened. If you can, change your password. Not a bad idea anyway.

what EXACTLY does this chrome message say?

If its this: It means the password that you're using has been involved in A data breach on SOME site SOMEWHERE. Not this one. We haven't had a data breach.

Change your password.

Similar to that error message but specifically had this web address on it. Plus, I don't store any passwords in my browser so unless google intercepts every password I type and sends it back to them, it flagged the address not my credentials. So no, not some site some where. Here. It specifically stated here. Also, my password on this site is unique to this site only.
 
Check for malware, you maybe getting a bogus message through your browser history, & clear your browser history also.
 
Thanks, but I don't need any assistance on what to do in this case (I work IT for a living). I was merely sharing what came up.
 
It was just a suggestion, no one else on the site is having data breach problems.

um well being in IT you would know a screenshot and more complete info would be quite helpful...

Does this happen every time you login? Have you tried changing your password to see if it resolves the issue? What browser? Etc.
