It's extremely unlikely that your device has been "hacked". I don't know why so many people seem to jump on this remote possibility.

What do you mean by "running weird"?

What are you doing when you feel that the device is running hot, and what is it's temperature, battery & cpu?

What brightness level is your device set at, that can cause it to run warmer & also increases the drain on the battery. 

If you have apps running & refreshing constantly in the background, that will drain the battery.

 

If you really believe that your device's security has been compromised, backup your device with Smart Switch & Factory Reset. Change your passwords & enable 2-Step verification.

If the screen is automatically increasing the Brightness to watch videos, that explains the higher temperature AND the increased battery usage. 

A poor Internet connection, could also contribute to higher battery drain.

Really don't know how you managed to get your device hacked? 

In more than a decade, most of which included testing custom firmware (the least secure of all) and not once was my account compromised..
