I got a phishing text on my phone that displayed an icon associated with two phone numbers in my contacts. Does this indicate that someone has guessed my Apple ID name and password? Should I change my Apple ID password? I did not select the link in the text and marked is as junk.
iPhone 11, iOS 15

I just changed it a week ago and I changed the custom icons. And I guess keep track of any suspect changes, texts, charges, etc?
I have the 2-factor authentication - thanks.
