RI does not appear to be hacked, but it seems someone is attempting to phish you.

This can sometimes be a legitimate warning that web browsers give you, but it doesn't necessarily mean RI is what's been compromised. Have you reused your RI password on any other websites? If so, there is a chance that one of these other websites on which you used the same password got hacked, which means that password has now been breached for all the sites on which you used it.

This is a useful website to check and see if your accounts have shown up in known data breaches: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
