The exploit tooling to do what you are concerned about is exceedingly expensive, and is targeted at specific people based on available evidence.
There are, however innumerable scammers claiming to have done this, ranging from the “pervert” and other sextortion scams, and those you know locally and that are lying or gaslighting and for whatever benefit they may seek. There are also scams based on re-used and compromised passwords, and on social engineering and phishing. And older iOS has known issues.
The former sorts of exploits are quite rare but certainly possible if you’ve come to the attention of some exceedingly well-funded adversaries.
The scams and sextortions and lies and phishing and compromised passwords are endemic. And that does not involve hacking your iPhone.
If you’re concerned about security, I’d start with updating to iOS 18.3, and then with reviewing your passwords and password choices. Older iOS versions do have issues, and compromised passwords can lead to very expensive and very bad days. In iOS 18, open Passwords app, and review the issues listed in the Security report.
