Apple ID hacking

My Apple ID has been hacked twice this week. My credit card had to be deactivated and I have not added another card to it. They have hacked in on 11/25 and 11/27. And made purchases on both dates. Also my phone location always says Jackson, MS when I get a notification and I live in Kennedy, AL.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen,  about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error.
