Ugh. I'll do that, though. It's better to be safe than sorry, after all.

Yes. Change the password for your Apple ID and if you've used the old
password on other services change it on them also. NB: from a security
point of view it would be best if you did this from your iPhone. Next,
assuming you use a Windows computer, run scans using your anti virus &
anti malware software to try and determin if the computer is infected
or not. If so, clean the infections or pay someone to do it for you.
Once done, change the passwords for all services that have been used
on said computer. When something like this happens and you simply
can't be sure of how it did, it's always best to assume the worst IMO.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,

It's important to remember that the from address shouldn't be used to
confirm the validity of a message. If you receive a message from
apple716...@gmail.com you can be certain that it's not from Apple, but
it's very easy to fake an @apple.com address so please don't assume
that a message is genuine if it supposedly comes from apple.com.

Cheers,
Ben.

If you check the from address, you will be able to know beyond a shadow of a 
doubt that it is a scam.
I just got one claiming to be from Apple Lost and Found. The from address was:
iPhonelostandfound@hgb084.cooltrackerspick.rocks
That is clearly an attempt to suck someone into something that will no doubt 
end badly.

RE: Apple notice seems fishy to me

Hi, I don’t think there would be any reason for Apple to verify your on line 
account information. I am thinking this is spam. If you’re really unsure, 
contact apple and ask them. I would certainly do this before clicking on the 
update. I have recently gotten a message from what was supposed to look like 
Apple telling me that my iTunes account had been disaccociated from my account. 
You may have noticed the fact that disassociated was misspelled. I spelled it 
just like it was spelled in the message I got. So, as long as spammers can’t 
spell, we will know who they are. And even when they do spell correctly, I 
never click on that kind of link without checking with the source first.
