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


If you're asking if Apple can help your sister with some non-Apple account that has been compromised, no. The fact that the hacker might or might not have used Apple hardware doesn't make Apple responsible. If someone uses an Escalade as the getaway vehicle in a bank robbery, it doesn't make Cadillac responsible for replacing the money.
