If they truly managed to turn off Find My they didn't hack your software, they found out your Apple ID and password, and maybe you iPhone passcode too.. One concern is:


Click on this link "If you think your Apple ID has been compromised" --> If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


If you want to see if anyone else has access to your device or accounts, click here --> See who has access to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

As for Find My being disabled, essentially there is no way Apple can offer to help find your phone. Read this document for things you can do: If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device - Apple Support
