2-Factor Authenticator got breached too??

I have the 2-Factor authentificator security option activated in my apple account and yet only realized that someone entered and changed my password because they were trying to access my hotmail. How can this happen? How can I avoid this in the future? I want my Apple ID account as safe as it can be.

iPhone 12 Pro, 14

What does Hotmail have to do with this? If they were trying to access your Hotmail account, that would have no effect on your Apple ID.
