icloud hacking?

I just received an automated call saying my icloud has been hacked.

Is this a valid call? If indeed it is, who do I speak to about securing my account.

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.
