Identity Theft and Personal Info

[0c9e0abb]

I had my google or iCloud account hacked. Someone stole comprising photos off of it. I was trying to hire someone to do a diagnostic on it (forensics) to find out who hacked my account. But I’m worried about my information being stolen again. Should I remove my photos and sensitive information prior to allowing them to do this to prevent any further issues or is it even something that can be legitimately done?
