I got an automated call saying my Apple iCloud security has been breached and I should press #1 on my phone. Is this legit?

Icloud breach I received 3 calls today with the Apple Support 1-800 number in the caller ID telling me my ICloud security had been breached and I should press 1 to connect to an Apple representative. Instead I hung up and called the support number but couldn't get a live person on the line. Is this a scam?

iCloud Account Security Breach Received a voice message from Apple Support staring my iCloud security information was breached and to not use any of my financial information connected to my phone. Legit or scam? I am suspicious because no number was left to call or any follow up options were left in the message

No, it is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
