I had to call apple support at 800-275-2273. They will have you go to family sharing to turn it off, which you obviously can't do. They'll then have to send a ticket to their engineers. The first time they didn't actually send the ticket; I called two weeks later and it was resolved that day. Because I changed my billing info as soon as I caught the hack, I was charged a $31.64 in-app purchase for some Chinese app I don't have once I re-added a payment method but they were able to reverse the charges (unfortunately they then blocked my paypal account from my Apple ID for security purposes). I changed my Apple ID and my password and turned on 2-step notifications. So I'm out $31 for 10 business days, had to input my card vs PayPal, and had to change all my account information, but I'll continue to monitor to see if anything else comes up
