Hacked iCloud account?

I received a phone call that my iCloud account had been hacked and they wanted me to press 1 for apple support. Has my account been hacked?

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.
