Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I received an automated phone call from a 212 (NY) area code claiming it was apple saying that my iCloud security has been breached. Could this have been a legit phone call from apple. Usually it's an 800 number? Thanks for any info. Annina

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.

Thanks! Seemed wrong so I did hang up but wanted to be sure I did the right thing.
You’re quite welcome.
Stay vigilant, as the scammers are persistent.
Security breach iCloud?
