The strange Chinese Apple email may actually have been part of a recent phishing attempt going on. When it comes to passwords, try to change your password every 3 months for sensitive information and once a year for other accounts, preferably a combination of at least 8 letters (upper and lower) numbers, and special characters. If possible, turn on 2-factor authentication when vendors offer it.

If you do get a phishing email, do not follow the link the email, just delete it.
