Apple ID has been locked

I received a text message from Apple saying that my apple ID has been locked I open the link and asked for my apple ID and password but I have not filled the verification info to verify because i saw something suspicious on that link, a minute after I immediately change my password of my apple ID to all my apple devices and sign out so all devices will be asking for my new password. My question is since I have enter the link and gave my Apple ID and previous password is this scams link can hacked my apple devices? Even after I have changed my password. Thank you

Since you have changed the password, they shouldn't be able to hack your ID or device. 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.
