Hi Jolism,

I understand a suspicious email was sent to your Hotmail account which asked you to update your Apple ID password. I know it's important to feel secure when using your devices, so I'm happy to help.

Please review this article for information on how to identify Phishing emails and where to report them:

If you've used that to identify that this is indeed a fraudulent message, then I would also advise following the steps provided here:
