You will need to resolve this through Google and Facebook as is has nothing to do with your Apple products. Start with the following:

If you manage to recover your accounts, here are three very important suggestions to improve your cybersecurity:


  1. Never use the same password on different websites or accounts (ever). Use a completely different and complex password for every account.
  2. Use a password manager like the new Apple Passwords app to store your passwords or passkeys (Use the Passwords app to create, manage, and share passwords and passkeys across Apple devices - Apple Support
  3. Learn to recognize phishing (https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-recognize-and-avoid-phishing-scams)
  4. Enable two-factor authentication on all of your accounts (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/10956730?hl=en, https://www.facebook.com/help/148233965247823/)
