ICloud Security Breach

Received a call about my iCloud account and a security breach. I hung up with out giving any information but am concerned. Is it possible to contact Apple about my iCloud account? Has my account been hacked?

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 ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
