What to do if someone sets up family sharing without permission

My Apple ID is continuously getting hacked into , does anyone have any advice besides what’s recommended in the Apple Recomendations as far as security? This is the second Apple ID I’ve had to create just to keep using apple products .

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
