The only way a hacker can change your passcode is if they have physical possession of your iPhone and know the current passcode. It cannot be changed remotely or without physically holding the phone.


A hacker can change your Apple ID PASSWORD (not your phone’s passcode), but only if the password was a weak one that could be easily guessed, AND you do not have 2 factor authentication on your Apple ID account.
