random email address assigned to me

When trying to use Poshmark, I signed in with my Apple ID. For some reason I was assigned an odd email address, and I don't understand. Now in order to change this weird address to my own email address, I am supposed to get a confirmation number from the strange address. I have no idea what this means. Was my account hacked in some way?

Weird email domain from “Your Apple Account information has been updated” I got two separate emails hours apart of my apple account information updated. The first had my name in it but it says my account name but a very weird email domain: @greenturtleresort.apple.account.com. I shortly got another email that was to another person’s name and had my email again but with a different domain @bunah-vitagreengarden.appleaccount.com I quickly changed my password as this seems super suspicious. but does anyone know what may be happening and why there are weird email domains?

IS no_reply@email.apple.com A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS I keep seeing posts on this email address and people asking if it's a valid email address or not? This IS NOT a valid email address, the one that I've been told by Apple that's valid is the noreply@email.apple.com, no _ in this one, email address. People need to stop providing inaccurate information, PLEASE either do your research or don't respond to these threads!!! I sent the no_reply@email.apple.com email address to Apples spam verification email address and they got back to me and confirmed that the one WITH the underscore IS the spam email address.

Apple ID Username and Security Concerns Hi everyone, I recently received the following email from Apple: Dear [My real name here], The following changes to your Apple ID, [my Apple ID username, not in email format], were made on 19 June 2024 at 16:14:49 GMT+8: Apple ID Email address(es) If you did not make these changes, or if you believe an unauthorised person has accessed your account, you should change your password as soon as possible from your Apple ID account page at https://appleid.apple.com. Sincerely, Apple Support Some facts: I didn't make that change My timezone is not GMT+8 I recognize the username, but its very strange it was sent with a username and not an email This sounds potentially like what might be happening to me, but I want to be sure - https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/178mnq8/received_email_that_changes_were_made_to_my_apple/ The strange thing is that my Apple ID in the email seems to be a very old ID created years ago, and it's not in the email format; it's just a username. The email is verified by Google as coming from Apple and my real name is on it. I don't remember which email was associated with that username. I checked the account associated with the email where I received the notification, and everything looks OK there. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can log in using only my username, or is there anything specific I should be looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Apple says: "When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account." If Apple tries sending you a verification email and you do not receive it, read this support article --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (go to this document: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
