Hi! Welcome to the Samsung Members community!
The only possible way to get hacked is by being tricked into installing something/ being phished into allowing access. Samsungs security is absolutely air tight....unless one is tricked into granting access. This would be the same regardless of brand. *this being said, I dont mean this was on you- my brother almost got hacked...and I dont blame him, the way they went around it was scary good. Luckily his bank realised.
This is very unfortunate, and to be honest, I think it's best to involve the authorities.

Then, factory reset your device—I would suggest using Samsung Find or the factory reset option on your smartphone using the buttons.

*This all being said, if you've already reset passwords and contacted your bank to cancel cards, a factory reset should suffice. I would also look into antivirus software with ID theft protection.
