iCloud security breach

I just received a call on my land line saying there had been a security breach with my iCloud account, and I should press a keypad number to connect with Apple Support.

1-has there been a security breach with my account

2-was the call from Apple Support?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

1 - no. 2 - no. This is an all too common scam. Never respond to this sort of thing - just put the phone down. Without exception all calls or messages saying there is a security breach, or that you have a virus, or that our account will be suspended if you don't 'verify' it are scams. Apple will never ring you unless you arrange a callback from Support.
