I’m concerned someone is attempting to access my account. I received a message purportedly from Apple yesterday indicating some in Afghanistan tried to access my account. It’s not clear to if Apple requested a p/w reset or if I’m being phished.

This is a scam. Apple never sends out email like this. If you look at the return email address you will find it isn't "apple.com."

These are scams and should be ignored

Report phishing email to abuse@apple.com.
