Apple ID compromised

So my phone was “hacked”. I don’t we use that term because it takes the severity of it. Both my phone and my laptop are pretty much unusable. I was trying to get help from that Apple Store they usually just laugh at me. But every bit of my data has been compromised including all my bank accounts credit history tax information. No matter what I do I can’t get it to go away it’s ruined my life. I just need to know how to fix it.

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

I’m sure of it. I’m not sure how they did but, I’m honestly not that good with computers when it comes to like what all you can do with Ip adresss and Secure networks no matter what I do. I would just buy new devices so I could completely start fresh bit I don’t have the money for that. It’s kinda dug me into a hole. I’ve went to Apple and they don’t really help much. I’ve Been a loyal Apple customer since iPhone came out and I always will be in Apple customer. And this is the first time they have not helped me
