I received a call from Apple about suspicious activity on our iCloud account. To be fair, we just set up and migrated info from two old computers to two new computers. We are not computer savvy and are having to recall passwords and such so it's possible "we did something" but I'm not sure what.

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.

Good thing that's what I did. It (the call) was a bit disconcerting, however.
Thank you!
You’re quite welcome.
Stay vigilant, as there’s no shortage of scammers out there.
Does Apple Care call when there is suspicious activity on your iCloud?
