You must explain exactly what happened. You may have logged someone else's Apple ID into your phone or you responded to a phishing message/email and gave someone your account credentials. Neither of those indicate your account has been hacked. That would be like saying your bank account has been hacked if someone told you to take out $100 and give it to them.


There are also many fake emails you may receive that claim they sent you the email from your own account saying that it has been hacked with pegasus software. These are just scams attempting to scare you into giving them money. In this case they don't have any of your information and there is nothing wrong with your account.
