Voicemail message from "Apple"

I have received a voicemail recorded message saying that my iCould account has been breached. The message tells me to "Press 1 for Apple Security." I'm not sure this is legitimate. How can I determine if my iCould account has actually been breached?

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.
