iCloud account breach

I just received an auto generated call saying my iCloud account was breached. Is this Apple or a scammer?

iPhone XS, iOS 14

It is a scam.


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.
