A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked. Unless you jailbroke your phone or gave it to someone you did not trust, then your phone is not jailbroken.

If it is truly new (as purchased from Apple or an Apple Approved Reseller) it hasn’t been jailbroken. If it is a used phone the previous owner should have done this→What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. If they did when you turn it on it should say “Hello”, then lead you through setup. If this isn’t what you see return the phone for a refund.
