I am getting a call from someone identifying as Apple saying any Cloud account has been breached.

Is this call legitimate? It sounds very official.

It is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. Also see: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Breach of I cloud account I just received a phone call from someone that said my I cloud account had been breached. I was told to hit one and a rep from Apple Support would come on the line to help me. Is this call for real. Caller ID said Apple.

Scam call? Someone called saying for Apple Support hit 1 claiming I Cloud has been hacked;( 1-800-589-8297. I’m assuming it’s a scam call?
