So I contacted the the ISP provider and they confirmed me that I was hacked by WiFi although I’m not sure how since the SSID was hidden. 

Hiding an SSID is NOT a security feature.  It just keeps the casual person from seeing your network easily.  Clients still need to know the SSID and that information is passed in the clear over the air.  So anyone sniffing for WiFi can easily see your SSID even though it is hidden.

I seriously doubt that a hacker in China was connecting via your WiFi.

Make sure your using, at least, WPA2 with a very good and complex key.  Disable uPNP and Bonjour and reboot it.  If your using a Ubiquity router make sure you disable Ubi Discovery.

Os2Sam,  I wanted to ask you.  How can I check my network for the level of security?  What type of software do I need to load up to be able to try to hack my own network even when the SSID is hidden?  I thought that it makes it pretty safe when I hide the SSID Huh

What other modern safety measures people take these days to protect their network?  Thanks!
