Reads like a scam. Ignore it. Apple doesn’t send “you’re hacked” email.


Apple does send email when you are using two-factor, and the locations are seldom particularly accurate. But hese notifications happen right after you’ve done something hat triggered two-factor, and Apple doesn’t send a host name.


If you are still concerned, set up two-factor authentication if not already enabled, a\set up a recovery email and/or recovery telephone, and change your Apple ID password.


Don’t click on links in the email.
