Troubleshooting a Hacked Facebook Account:
It was you account that was attacked --not your iPhone. If your Facebook account was hacked, and you change the password to Facebook, then after restoration, you would need to enter a new password. The one in the backup would just not work. So, restore from the backup, and then use the correct password.
So, Four More Things Here:
A. Modify your Credentials:
Having so much suspicion, consider modifying your credentials, ASAP, starting with a new password.
B. Verify Your Devices:
Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support
C. Report this to Apple:
Have any suspicious items on the screen (i.e. messages)? Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tips
and...
D. Set this Up Anew:
If you are so concerned, then reset your iPhone, as if you were to sell it. Perform as interacted here, including the backup: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
