got a call saying that my iCloud has been compromised

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.

No, it is not "legit." Apple will never cold call a customer with that, or any other information. Ignore the call/block the number.
