If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...
If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.
iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware *** unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.
It (Hacking) also depends on how careful you are in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.
Be judicious when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.
**The primary reason for this is Sandboxing. All third-party apps are “sandboxed”, so they are restricted from accessing files stored by other apps or from making changes to the device. Sandboxing is designed to prevent apps from gathering or modifying information stored by other apps.
Security of runtime process in iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support
The sandbox on an iPhone is a security feature that creates a restricted environment for each app to run in isolation from other apps and the operating system. It is a core component of iOS's security architecture and plays a crucial role in making iPhones more secure.

There is no security update that will stop you from telling a person your password/financial info either through a phone call or message. That is the most common way your account is compromised and has nothing to do with the security of your device. These phishing attempts are sent to users every day and all it takes is for a small number of people to fall for them. Everything the OP has described shows that their accounts have been compromised through one of these methods and not because the device was hacked.
Cybersecurity is not a wall that you build once that keeps everyone out forever. It is an arms race, where one side tries to find gaps in the wall, and the other patches the weak spots.

Apple issues security updates when new issues develop. Things are safe until bad people spend a lot of time trying to break them. When they do, Apple makes changes. Would you rather they did nothing?
Instead of posting it here in this forum report the hacking incident to local law enforcement authorities and actively pursue the case.
