Apple support fraud

Hi, so I have an issue. I responded to an email from “Apple support” that stated my account had been locked. I followed the link in the email and signed into my account without even thinking. I am worried that whatever I did I have now made my account information attainable to someone whom I don’t want to have access.. I have changed my apples ID password now. But is there anything else I can do to help ensure I don’t get any information stolen?

thank you!

If you changed your password, that should secure your account. 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.

Note the restrictions in the article.
