  1. There are no viruses for iOS devices.
  2. iOS devices cannot be hacked unless the owner manually removes all security protections (called Jailbreaking)


So if you have not jailbroken your iPad in order to install shady apps then you have not been hacked. Of course if you use ridiculously easy passwords that can be guessed by a two year old that’s your problem, not Apple’s.
