Can I regain access to my iCloud account if someone else has removed my phone number, and all my personal security details if so how?

My account was compromised, and I’m wondering if I can gain access to it, they’ve replaced my phone number with theirs and along with the email, so I cant reset the password

If the attacker was at all competent with the account takeover, no. You cannot regain access, as it is not your account. Not anymore.


Your last remaining chance is: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support


You will want to cancel any attached payment cards.

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (go to this document: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
