10 iPhones in 6 months all being hacked

So I’ll make a long story short. I had a gf who started installing adware and malware onto my phones and computers. When I kicked her out the gf before her picked her up and I had no idea they even knew each other. Anyway I’ve had 10 iPhones in 6 months some new straight from the store some second hand they seem to get hacked the second I turn them on even when not signing in with an Apple ID but as soon as whoever is doing this figures out my phone number it gets hacked. My whole family has iPhones and it’s happening to everyone but mainly my mom and I. Most recently I’ve seen business chat used because whenever I mentioned one of the ex’s names their name will go grey for a second. They’ve also been able to shutdown our business phone lines and internet. The story is to long to tell and sounds crazy but does anyone have any suggestions? Could I text one of the ex’s and that open up a way for them to hack my phone? Please any help this whole thing is driving me up the wall and slowly killing me?

There is no way that your 10 phones have all been hacked. It's far more likely that the one thing in common with all 10 of those phones (your Apple ID) is what's hacked or compromised.

Have you changed your Apple ID password? Do you use two factor authentication?

have you checked where you're signed in to make sure you recognize all the devices associated with your Apple ID?

Yes I have maxed out my apple ids on several phones. I also have 2 factor authentication. A lot of times I won’t get that text until hours later or not at all and if not at all it will still allow me to log in. I have a bs in IT it was 15 years ago but I still know a virus when I see one and it’s happening to my mom mainly as well. I just factory reset my phone and immediately started getting all kinds of data access sites popping up and sites that say forbidden when I try to enter them in safari in my website data. Somehow they had shut off me being able to see any website data until I factory reset it again. They shut it off because I was able to track the domains that were managing the sites that were popping up.

i was also not logged into an Apple ID when this happened. On both my moms and my phones and her computer they seem to think they are androids because whenever you do a google search with an iPhone iPhone stuff usually shows up but on our phones info on androids shows up most and first and on her MacBook on a search it comes up with stuff for windows 10
