iCloud Apple breach calls
Hi! I just updated my phone and I’ve gotten 4 calls that’s a recording saying Apple believes my iCloud was breached and to contact you immediately? Is this a scam?
Thanks-

It is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Also, the caller id number shown on scam and marketing calls is rarely the number actually originating the call. The number is usually spoofed.
One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support

Less,
Thank you very much for your reply! I have silenced my phone for unwanted calls. I wasn’t aware of this setting so thank you!
