iCloud breach

Has anyone received a call saying their iCloud has been breached? Like someone in another state had been trying to use it?

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.
