password reset or phishing?

I have received an email from Apple with a “a notification alert”. Someone was trying to reset my password from Ukraine. I deleted it, but I have received another email with the request of another password reset from Korea. Is this phishing? I deleted it again but can I still feel safe?

Sounds like a phishing attempt. Was there a link for you to click to sign in?


Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you and the e-mail will be from @apple.com.


Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams



Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it.
