icloud data breach?

I received a call from an odd number stating that my icloud data had been hacked by someone in

Toronto Canada. They were asking for personal information to protect my account. I am trying to contact Apple directly to find out if this is true and how to protect my data........I cannot seem to reach anyone from Apple to get assistance with this.


iPhone XR, iOS 13

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.
