iCloud hacked?

I keep getting calls, 5-6 times a day saying someone has hacked into my cloud acct and I need to talk to the tech immediately. I fear it’s a scam, but is it legitimate?

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.
