Why “find my iPhone” went off?
For no reason at all the “find my iPhone” went off today. How do I know if someone hacked my account?

I changed my password several hours after it happened, but when I did I think I saw another device listed on my phone but when I went and looked now I don’t see it. Not sure what to make of this. I’m not savvy with electronics and a bit nervous now over this.
What do you mean "went Off".
If your iPhone modified/jailbroken?
If not then one cannot remotely hacked your iPhone.
Thank you for replying.
my “find my iPhone” randomly started to alarm. And I wasn’t using it at the time.
Changing your password should have logged them out. The sync to show you that they were logged out may have been delayed if they weren't using their device when you changed your password.
