I’m freaking out! My alarm went off at 3:21am and the label actually said your iPhone. I have never written anything like that, so the import from an old phone theory does not apply. There’s no way someone could’ve done it at the house as I don’t share my password. Any theories? Could this be the product of a hacker?

Unless your phone was jailbroken, "hacking" of the device itself is extremely unlikely. A compromised account is more likely, but I'm not picturing how an alarm could be set on your phone without somebody actually having the device in an unlocked state in their hands.

Are you sure you didn't just set the alarm to that time by mistake?

I also deactivated my Norton anti virus.

Most antivirus apps for your iPhone aren't really designed to find viruses. They are often security programs that bundle multiple functions to justify the price asked. It is quite difficult for security software makers to make a really good antivirus app, because Apple has pretty much boarded up the system.
Thank you. My phone is not jail broken.
at least I know I didn’t do that, and it’s a new device. I did disconnect devices (following your instructions) that were attached to it that I didn’t recognize, but seemed harmless, like a Sony device that showed up with a icon that looked like a Sony tv. The accounts I’m sharing items with (like photos and notes) are all in my family network. This remains a mystery. ;( I did have the latest security update from Apple pending and just ran it. I also deactivated my Norton anti virus. Thanks for your response.
Has my iPhone been hacked?
