ICloud breach

I just received a call from 1 800 692-7753 stating my ICloud account has been breached. Is this a scam?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Yes, its a scam. Apple will never call you out of the blue for any reason.


Apple will send you emails if your account is accessed from a new location and device or computer that's never been used to access it, but will never claim that it has been breached, as there's no possible way to know that.


It could very well be you accessing the account from a different device.
