Unfortunately, none of that is technically that difficult anymore and — other than your voice — available from generally public info.


It certainly doesn’t directly indicate any sort of compromise of your system. (assuming that your iPhone 14 still works normally)


You might consider changing your Apple Account Password and your Voice Mail access PIN. You might also change your voice mail greeting to a default/generic.


Also review this for anything which might strike a chord in your mind:


If you think your Apple Account has been compromised - Apple Support


Lastly, contact law enforcement. If this has been done once w/ you; it’s likely not an isolated instance.
