Was Your Apple ID Compromised?

The following collected 4/17/2020 and sent in an email, by Ken Pogran (thank you)

If you have any question about your Apple ID, you should go to the official Apple ID web site, https://appleid.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID and password.

There are lots of scam emails that give the appearance of coming from a legitimate source (such as Apple support), that contain a link to click on that will take you to a malicious site to get you to enter your password. THEN your account is compromised, for sure!

Go instead to the known official site with your browser, and proceed from there.
