Suspicious Message

A message has appeared on my iMac saying the following:

“Your Apple ID is now being used for iMessage and FaceTime on a new iPhone.”

I don’t have a new iPhone so does anybody know what this could mean please?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Received this message: Apple ID Your Apple ID is now being used for iMessage and Facetime on a new Mac. I don't have a new Mac. I cannot access my cell phone without hitting OK. I did hit OK. I change my password immediately. Could it be that someone was using my a/c?

This message is probably on your Mac. Here "New iPhone" means your iPhone where you have just activated iMessage.

At that point I had not sent any kind of message from my iPhone which is why I was concerned.
