Unknown iphone showed up in instant hotspot menu

Hi,


I wonder how come an iPhone, unknown to me, is suggested as instant hotspot connection in my mac book pro. I checked devices linked to my icloud account and there wasn't any device other than my current mac book pro and my old IPhone 7 which is shutdown in my drawer since 1 years.


Is this a bug or a security issue?


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

There's an iPhone nearby offering it's Hotspot, but maybe you can only see it, not join it.
