Make a new Apple ID account

I have been hacked! It’s believed to be from my Apple ID. All of my devices are compromised! My daughter’s IG account was stolen and I was able to get it back through Instagram. I spent days with hackers through her account threatening to delete or sell it if I didn’t send bitcoin. At one point a green light from the camera turned on from my macbook. Pro. I was able to pull down an in tire replica of my screen that was being controlled somehow by someone else. I have 3 iPad pros 2 phones and a MacBook Pro. They go in and change my passwords to all of my accounts constantly and it is insane! How can I make a new Apple ID and transfer my information from my old one?

Apple ID - create a new.      


Apple ID – Create         


Family Sharing.         


Family Sharing - Set up.        


When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
