Apple ID being used somewherelse

My iPad says someone is signing in using my email address in the South of England and I live in the North. How can this happen? I have changed my Apple ID password now.

iPad, iOS 13

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen,  about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.




If that isn't the case, the e-mail may be a scam, especially if there is a link for you to click.
