Hacking attempts on my Apple ID

Several times a day I get a notification that a device is trying to use my Apple ID in another city no where near me. I have two factor authentication, and a very strong password, so they are not getting in, but I am tired of responding to the pop ups on my iPhone. Isn’t there some way to block this malicious user?
