Does anyone else have this issue? Apple keeps sending me email saying there is an attempt to reset my password. Has been happening regularly every 3 or 4 hours since yesterdays. There were some news that the developer’s forum was hacked and account details was leaked. Maybe it’s related. ---

Nope, I google the iForgot site and reset my password without going through the links in the email. But all addresses linked in the email looks legit.
