What makes you suspect this?:

If concerned, perform the following....


Three Things to Do:

A. Deauthorize All Option:

Try Deauthorize All. You can only Deauthorize All items once every 365 days. So, you may have to wait up to a year before you can perform this.  Go Here: Authorize or Deauthorize your Computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

B. Modify your Credentials:

Having so much suspicion, consider modifying your credentials, ASAP, starting with a new password.


also...


C. Verify the Devices:

Verify that the devices assigned to your iCloud are your devices: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support
