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-

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

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
