someone keep trying to sign in with my Apple ID from other country.

Hi,


I'm currently living in Australia but someone keep trying to sign in with my Apple ID from other country(mostly China).


It happens every year but usually stop once I change my password.


But this time even though I already changed my password several times, it keeps happening.


I've attached screen pictures below that might help you to advise me what I need to do.


thank you.

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. 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.
