Phone call From “Apple”

I got a weird phone call this afternoon saying my iCloud account had been breached and to talk to Apple support. Anyone else getting this call? Is it just a scam? My phone did tag it as possible spam but I’ve been getting more “possible spam” calls lately

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.
