Spam email

Hi, I received an email which I think may not be authentic. I did click on the link in the mail though but when the response was delayed, I got suspicious and exited immediately.

I went on settings and changed my Apple ID password. Anything else I need to do? If the email is indeed a spam, am I in danger of being hacked?

If you provided no more information than your password to the bogus site, and subsequently changed your password, you should be fine.
