iCloud breach

Received a call today indicating that my iCloud account was breached.

Wanted me to contact Apple Support.

Concerned that this may be a scam or a fraudulent call.

Requesting assistance regarding this issue.

Thank you, GRW

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.
