Received email concerning id

Received an email asking me to verify my ID because of someone going in on another unfamiliar source. Is this an authentic email. I went in independently and separately from the email to change password. Should I be concerned?

In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
