See→If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

You can’t easily trace who it is, but you can protect your account by changing your Apple ID password and making a strong password (20 characters that don’t spell anything is a good place to start), and adding 2 factor authentication if it doesn’t have it already. The combination makes your account unhackable for all practical purposes.
