As long as you haven’t noticed any fraudulent activity within your Apple account, then you should be fine.

If you wanted to be extra cautious, you would also change the passwords of any other accounts that use the same password as your Apple account (if applicable), or at the very least, change the password of any accounts that use the same email address and password of your Apple account (if necessary).

Not all scammers are clever enough, or care enough, to tap into other accounts that use the same credentials, but it’s very common that they may try. They may also be phishing for the purpose of mass collecting credentials to sell on the darknet.

Again, that’s if you want to be extra cautious, but as long as you change your Apple password you should be alright.
