I have been receiving phone calls regarding an iCloud security breach and advising that I contact support before using any of my Apple devices. All I need to do is press "1" to be connected. This sounds like a scam to me but have several Apple devices using iCloud. I was wondering if anyone else was receiving these calls.
iMac, iOS 11.4.1
It is a scam.
There have been hundreds of such reports here. The most common report is that “Molly” is calling.

Several calls today from two numbers, 310-***-**** and 408-606-**** leaving messages claiming there is an icloud security breach and warning not to use devices before talking to them. I did not respond. Can't see how to let apple know about this.

Thank you. I suspected as much. I had gotten used to the calls about my Windows computer having a security problem even though I don't have any Windows computers. I think I'll report Molly to the state attorney general.
You‘re quite welcome.
