I think I was hacked via Wi-Fi which I NEVER HAVE USED, but has a private wi-fi address already and my wifi goes on by itself

I NEVER HAVE USED MY WI-FI or HOTSPOT, but I went to set up my Wi-Fi and noticed(NOT THE FIRST TIME) that it was on without me turning it on plus already had a private locked wi-fi

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hello BrynMawrBrat,


Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about Wi-Fi automatically turning on. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 


Here's a resource that can help explain a little more: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center - Apple Support


Wi-Fi will stay off if disabled in the control center unless:


•You turn on Wi-Fi in Control Center.
•You connect to a Wi-Fi network in Settings > Wi-Fi.
•You walk or drive to a new location. 
•It's 5 AM local time.
•You restart your device.


To completely turn off Wi-Fi you will need to go into Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.
