Unless your iPhone is jailbroken, it is not hacked.

Delete Safari form most recently used list (double click Home button)
Then in Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
Check Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Accounts > delete any spam calendar found here
Restart iPhone => Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
