Compromised Apple ID: Password reset email not mine

Hi,


It seems that someone else other than me is trying to take over my Apple account (most likley the password was compromised). However, the security questions are still in place. I am trying to change the password but the reset password email is not one of mine.

Can I at least block - deactivate my account, until this is sorted out?

With this account, I am also part of the Apple developer Program.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
