Real or scam?
I have received 3 recorded phone calls on my land line today from apple saying that my icloud info has been breached. Then they say if I want to talk to a representative, to dial 1. Is this really from apple or is it a scam?

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.
