Could the multi sig wallet be hacked without hacking the 3 wallets used to sign ?
No if the script is correctly generated and each cosigner Electrum wallet only contains one master extended private key and two master extended public keys.
But your MultiSig only requires two signatures based from that address' witness script so the hacker only needed two:

(there seem to be nothing wrong with the script so it's hacked through the private keys)

But in February 12, my computer got hacked. And Bitcoin of some of my wallets got moved somewhere
-snip-
The 3 wallets that were signatories to that multi sig was not hacked. As in no crypto were lost on those wallets
Is one of the MultiSig wallet cosigner in that hacked computer?
How many master private keys/seed that the MultiSig wallet contains (remember when you created it), excluding the Ledger wallet cosigner?
If you can't remember, you can see by removing the wallet's password and by opening the wallet file 'as text', check if it has two master private keys or seeds under "x1", "x2" and "x3".
