I just received an email(attached in the pic) saying my Apple ID was used to login to a computer in Russia. I didn’t click the link in the email but rather went to the Apple website myself and changed my Apple ID password just in case.

Couple things seem odd about the email though. It shows the time logged in, which doesn’t correspond to my current or the current time in Moscow, it’s way off actually. Also when logging in I have 2-Factor setup and I never got a notification when the supposed Russian login happened. I did however when I changed my password myself. Thoughts?

It’s spam. Authentic emails from Apple never ever have a login button in emails. Delete the email and don’t think about it.

K I was leaning more towards it being a fake email. Isn’t there some way of reporting it to have someone look into it?

Oh boy. Yeah don’t click that link under any circumstance. I’d bet @Tartarus ‘s life that that’s a phishing email.
