You would have been within their network distance for this to happen. Maybe 25-30 feet. And before this could happen, they would need to connect their Mac to your device via USB to enable a wifi connection going forward.


Did the above possibly happen?


Bluetooth and wifi have nothing to do with this unless the above happened.

The image contained a lot of personal information, and this is a public forum visible to anyone in the world who wants to visit it. For example, just from the IMEI anyone who wanted to could have your phone blacklisted. But I did see it, and there is nothing on that page that provides any indication that someone can see your phone in Finder on their Mac.
