Email

I just recieved an email from iCloud saying my account was out on hold for unusual activity and to fill out my information In order to unlock it. So I filled out all my information, my account password and username, my address, card information, social security number etc. I tried to email the email to ask why I had to do that but the email didn’t go through. I’m scared it was a virus or something and I just gave away all my information. I attached what the email looked like, is this legit or should I shut off my account ? I’m scared someone has all my information now

iPhone 6s, iOS 10
