Had 2 pre recorded phone calls saying my iCloud account has been compromised. I hung up. They wanted you to press 1 or 2. Is this a hoax?

Yes it is. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


One option to consider is Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. See: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
