iCloud security
I keep getting calls about my iCloud account being breached. Is this true or just a scam?

Very much 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.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Thanks for the reassurance. I thought it was but they are getting really good at sounding legitimate. That or I’m falling into the old person category that trusts too much!
You are quite welcome.
It is always wise to have a healthy amount of skepticism ....... especially for us that fall in the “old person” category 😀.
