iPhones 12, 13 and 14 can be backed up to iCloud over a cellular network if you have 5G service.

You iPhone may have been backed up to a computer.

If you purchased this iPhone on Sept 16 2022 and transferred data from the old iPhone to a new iPhone then a backup is also created on iCloud.

I just listed possibilities of when an iPhone can be backed up without WiFi. No, your iPhone has not been hacked.

Did you have your data transferred from an old iPhone to your new iPhone on or around Sept 16 2022?
