My Apple ID was compromised as per an email from you. I have changed my password. Is there anything else I should do?

I received an email from Apple stating my account ID had been used to download on a device in China. I did not initiate this download. I changed my password as per suggested from Apple. Is there anything more I should do?

Assuming you are using two-factor authentication, Check your Apple ID device list  (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064and remove any device that shouldn't be signed in using the steps in the link.

 

If there are none that shouldn’t be signed in, then you should not have a problem at this point. But, if an unauthorized device is signed in, Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355. I know you have done this, but see:
