iCloud security and scam calls

Dies Apple make an automated call if a persons security has been compromised? Just got a call and ignored-hung up.

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.
