I keep getting "Your Apple ID Verification Code" alerts

I got a new phone number about two weeks ago. Yesterday afternoon I started getting a lot of text alerts (see image below), that state my Apple ID Verification Code is: ######.


These are coming from two sources - 504-72 and 819-61. Are those actual Apple texts/alerts?


As a note, I am not trying to log into anything. Some come rapid fire within a minute or two of each other. Some a few hours apart.


I called tech support this afternoon and they had me change my password so I created the most hideously long and obnoxious one I ever had. I also updated my iphone with the new password.


Five hours later I got four more alerts, all within 5 minutes of each other.


I can't reach tech support now because it is after hours. This is MADDENING and very concerning.


Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to stop it?User uploaded file

Someone may be trying to hack your Apple ID, which would cause the codes to appear. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
