Received a call stating I should not open any banking or personal information electronically due to Icloud account hacked. Is this real? the guy i spoke to tried to have me go to something call ZDNET. com or something. I did not.

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.
