My daughter keeps getting calls stating they are from Apple Support regarding a security breach on iCloud. She hangs up as soon as it wants her to type one for security. This is a scam, correct?

Apple support scam I have gotten several calls from someone saying they are Apple support and that my iCloud account has been hacked and they need to see in my computer to diagnose the problem. To do that, I would have to let them take over control with my password. I don’t trust them, but they are adamant about the fact they are secure. Does Apple support ever call a customer to do something like this or is it a scam?

Yes. Apple Support will not call.
