Strange network detected

Hi since a short while ago, i've been detecting weird networks. They have strange names and are none of my own devices.


Does this mean my macbook got hacked, or do other people have acces to my computer through perhaps a Remote Assisted Tool? Like if i downloaded a trojan or something.


My computer have been getting random spikes of high cpu so i wonder if something might be running in the background that i'm not aware of.
