My iPhone 8 is receiving messages in Messages that appear to be from a hacker. I’m now concerned they have accessed my iPhone and my MacBook Air. How can this be canned for and safely removed?

first of all don't open links nor answer. second - if your iphone is not a jailbroken, it cannot be hacked.
third - if you suspect that your Apple id may be compromised, follow this guide:

you should block this "pakistani" number, not your friend's.
and, afaik, you must block on all devs.
btw, would be good to talk to your elderly friend and explain what to do in case of suspicion
In Messages I have been getting messages that appear to be a hack. In one message there was a phone number texted to me that started w +92 which is Pakistan. The text message came from a friends phone, but she is an elderly person who was maybe hacked and then that go through to my phone. I’ve been getting strange messages (like a passage from a book about WWII in France for example) and the owner of the phone assure me she has not sent me anything. I have since deleted her number from Messages and Contacts on my iPhone and my Mac. (when I blocked her number I still received messages but maybe I need to block the number on all my devices??? Any more thoughts?
Thank you for the suggestions.
