hack iphone via IMEI

My iPhone has been hacked. I have changed my carrier and contact number multiple times but the hacker still manage to hack in. I had passed my iPhone to police to scan any spyware been installed and the result is no. This I suppose the hacker hacked via IMEI or UDID.

My question is did anyone can trace the carrier or iCloud account using the hardware identifier?

No. Anyone who knows the Apple ID email address that you use to log into iCloud and who can guess your Apple ID password can access all of the information that you say has been compromised, UNLESS you also enable 2 factor authentication on your Apple ID account.

Excellent advice. One thing I would add:

5A. Do not use your gmail account password for your Apple ID password. Make it a different, strong password.
