icloud breach?

Has there been an Breach in our data in the icloud? and Does Apple, inc. call people?

I have received two automated, then transferred to a real person stating my icloud had been breached and was being used out of the country. They wanted me to go to my pc or laptop and go to Google. I asked them to hold on my pc wasn't on and it was being slow....I got disconnnected.

Breach of icloud? Just received a phone call from “apple” stating that my icloud was breached twice; one from san diego and one from texas. He stated that they might be accessing my bank information and other private accounts and that the first thing we needed to do was to make sure my privacies and securities are correct. At that point in time i said that i was uncomfortable doing this over the phone, hung up, and contacted this community. Question is, will apple ever call and say there was a breach of security? Thanks! Megan R

icloud data breach? I received a call from an odd number stating that my icloud data had been hacked by someone in Toronto Canada. They were asking for personal information to protect my account. I am trying to contact Apple directly to find out if this is true and how to protect my data........I cannot seem to reach anyone from Apple to get assistance with this.

It is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls.
