If you think your Apple ID is being hacked:
Are you concerned that an unauthorized person might have access to your Apple ID? These steps can help you find out and regain control of your account.
Signs your Apple ID has been compromised
Your Apple ID might be compromised if you receive an account notification from Apple for a change you didn't make, or if you notice account details or changes you don’t recognize. For example:
If you received an email, text message, or phone call that you're not sure is valid or you think might be phishing, here are some tips to help determine its legitimacy.
Gain control of your Apple ID
If you think your Apple ID is compromised, use these steps to gain control of it and review your account information:
Know which Apple ID is signed in to your device
If you're signed in on your device with an Apple ID that you don't recognize, use these steps to sign out, then back in with a different Apple ID. To make sure that you're signed in to Apple IDs that only you control or trust, you can check the following settings on each of your devices:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Mac:
You should also check iCloud for Windows, your AirPort Time Capsule or other AirPort Base Station, and your Apple TV (for iCloud Photos or Home Sharing).
Make sure your Apple ID is secure
Because you use your Apple ID for so many Apple products and services, you should make sure that your Apple ID is as secure as possible. You should be the only person who knows your password and can sign in with your Apple ID. If someone you don’t know or don’t trust can sign in with your Apple ID, your account is not secure.

The following has information about changing your password, about adding two-factor authentication and other information that may help: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support
I have changed my password multiple times . And I still keep getting these emails saying my iCloud is being used . I have the two authentication on .
No one else had my password so I am not exactly sure what to do . This feels violating
The emails may be a scam -- a phishing attempt to get you to respond by clicking on a link in the email to log into a site that appears to be Apple but is not and by doing that divulge your password.
