iPhone and Apple Watch got hacked using my Apple ID.

Hello guys, my iPhone and watch got hacked using my Apple ID.

They also gained access to my email and changed linked phone number.

So my iPhone now on lost mode with message: <If you want to restore access to your apple id, contact to xxxx number.> .

Obviously they asking money.

How can I get any help.

Try and enroll in account recovery, when telling Apple support this story when submitting the request.


Also, make sure that hackers cannot get in your Apple id, use a strong password and always use 2 factor authentication

Sorry to hear your Apple ID was compromised and they've have enabled lost mode on your device. Your first step is to try and regain control of your Apple ID following If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


If you cannot get control of the Apple ID your next step is to provide proof of ownership of the devices to Apple and request they remove the activation lock from their end. See Start a support request at How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
