I received a phone call on my house phone saying that my iCloud had been breached

Hello, I received a phone call on my house phone saying that my Icloud had been breached and to not do anything financial. The number was XXX-XXX-1049. I wanted to see if this is correct? What do I need to do to correct this if it hasn't to make my account safe?

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 ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
