iCloud Account Security Breach

Received a voice message from Apple Support staring my iCloud security information was breached and to not use any of my financial information connected to my phone. Legit or scam?


I am suspicious because no number was left to call or any follow up options were left in the message

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.
