iCloud breach phone call

I keep receiving phone calls on my home phone (not iPhone) telling me my iCloud account has been breached. I don't see anything suspicious though on the account. I did not answer the phone calls.

Your tactic of not answering the calls is prudent.


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.
