Breach iCloud

I keep getting phone calls out of West Palm Beach, Florida that there’s been a breach with my iCloud. I’m to follow the prompts to talk with an Apple support specialist or call the phone number given. I want to know if it’s legit

The calls are not legit.


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.
