Password reset

Last night around 9pm CST I received a notification that I needed to reset my Apple ID password. I did so as I hadn’t done that in a long time, but I never received an email that would indicate to me why Apple prompted me to reset my password. Does the notification mean someone was trying to hack my Apple ID?
