iCloud hack

I have received numerous calls today stating that my iCloud account has been breached. Are these bogus calls?

They are indeed bogus calls.


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.
