iCloud compromised??

I just got a phone call saying my iCloud account has been compromised. How do I know if it was real or phishing?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

It is not real.

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.

Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
