Find My

Under the People frame in the Find My app on my iPhone there is a phone number unknown to me (but very close to my wife’s) with the note “Can see your location”. Is this a hack attempt?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

It is not a recognized number by you and it is not your wife's number so I recommend that you remove it from Find My if you haven't already.

Your iPhone cannot be hacked. The user, however, can be scammed or information can be retrieved with the phishing method. I think in your case, is it possible that you meant to add your wife in your Find My and did not enter the number correctly? You mentioned that the number was very close and therefore am asking.
