I just got a call, from 800-559-9**7, supposedly about having some iCloud security issues and to speak to an Apple rep. I need to hit "1". I did not. I hung up.
With masked phone numbers, recordings, etc. I usually write all these calls off as phishing and spam.
Correct?

They are indeed scam calls.
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.

Yes, it’s a scam. You did the right thing by hanging up
I am also getting calls non-stop on both of my 2 Iphones and my home phone about security breach on my Icloud account. I just hang up.
Thanks for the confirmation.
You’re welcome
Does Apple call customers about iCloud security?
