In all likelihood NO.


However your security credentials might have been compromised; often thru “social engineering / phishing.”


(It’s sorta the difference between having your locked-up residence “broken into” … versus leaving your front door standing wide open while obviously “away” for an extended period.)


“Close and lock the door” to your Apple devices by following the guidelines available in links below and NEVER providing your AppleID password - or Device passcode - to ANYONE.
