Need to someone regarding iPhone security

Message appeared on my Mac that someone near Miami was using my apple ID account on a Mac. I live on the mid West Coast of Florida, which is not Miami. Should I be concerned?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.1

No. It's likely you. Location is based on a number of items, including your internet provider and perhaps their address. For example, I live in Chicago and when I log into my employer's WiFi is alerts me as being in Arlington, VA. At home, I often get suburban locations too.
