Mac computers are very difficult to hack, so I dont think that is the case. If you're concerned that your Mac is compromised, you can always download the free version of malwarebytes to scan your Mac. This is good and thorough software.
Try and boot the Mac in the safe mode, to see if the blasting fans are there in safe mode. If so, it is caused by an external app loaded on startup
Start up your Mac in safe mode – Apple Support (UK)
After you have ruled out this, the change is big that this is a hardware issue. Contact apple support to set your Mac up for service
