iCloud Breached Scam Calls

Hello I keep getting calls from different numbers saying that my iCloud account has been breached and to press 1 to speak with apple support? Are these scams? How do I know if my iCloud has really been breached?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

They are indeed scams.


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 hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
