We can¡¯t tell from what you shared with us, but another indicator that something might be a phishing attempt, is if it is not sent to one if your valid e-ddresses, or one does not appear because it was sent by BCC , or blind carbon copy.?
A BCC can indicate it was sent to multiple people in a lazy phishing attempt. A computer doesn¡¯t mind sending out 5,000 copies to 5,000 different e-ddesses. Human coders are sometimes lazy and just code the mailing list in with BCC, instead.?

Hi Andrew
Since it¡¯s not a valid Apple ID for you, I wouldn¡¯t be concerned.
You didn¡¯t tell us, is the Gmail address one of yours? Did you received the email on that account?
Do you have 2 Factor turned on for the iCloud?

I just got the attached, and the ¡°from¡± address looks like an?authentic Apple address. Here¡¯s the Google translation (from Spanish) of the email:
Greetings, gonzalez bella65:
Your Apple ID (abuc206@...) has been used to sign in to iCloud?
from a web browser.
Date and time: March 3, 2024, 03:29 PST
Operating system: Windows
If the information mentioned sounds familiar to you, you can ignore this?
message.
If you haven't signed in to iCloud recently and think someone may have?
accessed your account, go to the Apple ID page?
() and change your password as soon as?
possible.
Sincerely,
Apple Support
My actual mailbox is
?abuc604@..., and the
?abuc@...?address is normally use is at my domain registrar, with a forward to the Fastmail mailbox. I do get a certain amount of spam/phishing mail at the Fastmail address. I did access iCloud during the day on March 2, definitely not at 3:29 a.m. today.
I just confirmed that my Apple ID is
?abuc@..., as I thought. I changed my Apple ID password, just in case. So--any reason for concern?
