Contact Apple Support, ASAP:

If something does not look right, then contact Apple Support. As you might suspect, no one here would know the reason for this occurrence, of course. So, contact Apple Support. They’ll know why this occurred and will run you right through the fix.

Contact Apple Support:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Security Your Account:


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:

Nobody can access your iCloud unless they know your AppleID password, and if you use 2 factor authentication with your AppleID, they’d need access to one of your trusted devices or trusted telephone numbers.


If you’re keeping your AppleID password confidential (and using a strong password) then nobody should be able to log in to your iCloud account.


And without your screen lock passcode, nobody should be able to see them on your device(s) unless you show them.


What makes you think someone else is viewing your iCloud account?
