Is my Apple ID hacked?

I just got a message on my devices saying, "Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iMessage on a new iPad" - but, I didn't get a new iPad - or recently sign in using my Apple ID.


Should I be concerned?


Is there some way of check to see what devices are linked to my Apple ID?



MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

For iOS 15 or earlier, if you want to see if anyone else has access to your device or accounts, click here --> See who has access to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


For iOS 16 or later see how Safety Check on iPhone works to keep you safe. How Safety Check on iPhone works to keep you safe - Apple Support


It is good to be cautious but I have seen that message appear when I know I did something such as charge an old iPad I hadn't used in a while. Waking it up caused it to try to connect and produced that message. I have seen that message on several occasions but each time it was something like that.
