I just received 2 calls in the last 15 minutes saying a security breach or unusual activity was found on my I cloud account. Is this a scam going around.

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.
