"rapportd" and "netbiosd" incoming connections prompt

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

how can i tell if my Mac is been hacked ? Hi everyone I recently noticed the game on my iPhone acting up like it chats on its own. at first didn't care cause its the type of chat in game where you choose one of those phrases, anyway chats keep popping and started to annoy me! A couple day later I found a Macintosh HD window open looks like somebody selected private then var file then tmp to ended up in Sysdiagnose...tar.gz first thing I did was learning about Sysdiagnose, I found that it contains sensitive information and I can't share it with anyone except Apple if needed. So please I need help to figure if my Mac is been hacked or not. Thanks

Fresh install from Apple fixed this. It no longer pops up.
