Hi

The other day I suddenly got about 8 apple verification codes texted to my phone, I did not request these.
So I was a little worried, especially shortly afterwards I got a phone call from someone in China.

I did not answer it.

I have a strong random password and use 2 factor authentication.

Anything I should be worried about or do to be sure Im ok?

Thanks

I'd change your Apple password.

Was thinking about doing that, but I don't believe my password has been compromised, according to Apple they were verification codes for some sort of in store booking confirmation, maybe someone used my number accidentally, or it was some kind of scam using my number and texting me in the hope I would answer the phone call.

I use a strong random password and 2FA.

Either someone trying to scam you, or optimistically, someone accidentally used your phone number.

I'd still change your password. Only takes a couple of minutes. :p

True, but I was thinking, if someone truly had compromised my account I would not of been sent text verification codes, instead my devices would have received the 2fa alerts you get on your devices when logging into an unverified device, as that is what I have set up.

Not had anything since, will see how it goes.
