Contacted by Apple?

I just received a call from this number ‭+1 (800) 692-**** claiming to be “Apple”, letting me know my ICloud has been breached and not to make any transactions. Does Apple contact you by phone or just emails?

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.
