Someone is trying to hack my apple ID

I’m located in the US & both attempts where from china if that means anything but i already changed my password after the first time. Should I make a new apple ID? i didn’t give my second password out to anyone so i’m not sure how they would’ve got it. Any help would be appreciated

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.
