I was repeatedly called by a spoof (using a local exchange) automated voice saying my account had been compromised and to hit 1 to talk to an apple care specialist. Clearly this is an attempt at phishing. My question is since it occurred multiple times throughout the night, obviously someone has my phone # and may know we have a macs and iPads. Or is this just random phishing? I updated my password on iCloud. Is there anything else I want to consider?
The criminals making such calls know absolutely nothing about your or what devices you might have. They make dozens of simultaneous calls and attempt to scam the first person that answers. As there are literally billions of Apple devices, and Apple accounts, there is a very good chance that anyone that answers will indeed have an Apple account.
