What do in the event of a hack for Gmail and my Apple ID

My Gmail account and my Apple ID were recently hacked. Someone suggested setting up an email in ICloud that is linked to my Gmail account as a more secure set up?

Hacked how?


Maybe an Apple Account with no two factor authentication, and a re-used password?


Or something else?


I’m not aware how to link an Apple Account with an iCloud email with Google Gmail account, so I’m not sure where that’s headed. Recovery, maybe?
