My Apple ID was hacked

Yesterday my Apple ID was hacked. I got a mail from Apple that someone logged into my account from a MAC device (it wasn’t me) and Apple advised me to change my password if it wasn’t me. It happened yesterday at 10 pm but I didn’t see it until today, 9 am. I went to change the pass but it wouldn’t send the code to my phone. I went to settings to check if my phone number was still written and it was. I somehow guessed my security questions and changed my password as well as removed the MAC advice from my advices. At 7 am I got many texts in chinese and I’m worried about what happened. Can someone help me? Pic of the messages attached

iPhone 11, iOS 13

If you successfully changed your password, you can ignore the messages. 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.
