Is appleid.com a legitimate site to change my apple ID

yesterday I was hacked through facebook messenger. Some how I got a message to change my Apple password. The site I was directed to was appleid.com. That doesn't look to me like a legitimate Apple address

Many of us have been hacked in our Facebook accounts over the years. That does not really require you to change your Apple ID Password (your phone wasn't compromised, just your Facebook account was). It does require you to change your Facebook account ID Password. If it would make you feel more secure to change your Apple ID Password, here is a link from Apple explaining how to do that --> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

The best way to change your Apple ID password it through the menus in your iPhone or other trusted device in your posession, details in help document

However, the domain registry details look pretty good to me.
