Locked Account Email

Hello.

I received an email stating someone logged into my account from a MacBook Pro 13" on 8/21/21 at 8:46am.

It suggested I change my password if this was not me.

It was not me, so I changed my password.

Today I received an email stating that my Apple ID has been locked for security reason.

It states "It looks like your account is outdated and requires updated account ownership informationso (I left the typo as is) we can protect your account and improve our services to maintain your privacy."

My question is:

Is this a scam email? I can't find any issues with my account.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, absolutely a scam if there is a typo. Also Apple doesn’t send emails saying the account is locked.
