Unauthorised attempt to reset my account password

I have just received a message from apple responding to a password reset that I did not request. Is there a way to find out where or who it came from etc..?

You are welcome. You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
