Wierd Phone call from Apple.com

I received a call from Apple.com Ph# 1-800-***-****. The call was a recording saying my account has been breached and to dial 1 to resolve. I hung up right away. I wanted to confirm if there was a breach on my Apple.com account.

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.
