iCloud Account Breach Notification

Is it common practice for people claiming to be Apple representatives to call people when their iCloud accounts have been breached?

Yes, unfortunately it is a very common scam attempt.

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.
