Are these emails legitimate?

I received a couple of emails supposedly from Apple.

These are the two email addresses they sent the emails from:

nanoceo.supportemiua2018updates.appdesupport-1139227769@appl-support8172.com

And:

KTrvSj2t-Apple-service-KTrvSj2t-no-reply@mail-profile-information.com


I am sceptical of their credibility but wanted to double check since it says I had someone access my account from Indonesia.


The first read as follows:

And the second said:

  • Browser : Netscape

We apologize for locking your account because for security reasons.

Is this legit? Or should I just block and ignore them?
