How do I deregister an unknown number associated with my Apple ID

Suddenly receive a message: an unknown number to me, is added and it is then associated with my Apple ID, there is choice No or Yes. I pressed No but the unknown number is still listed as if it's my number. I tried to deregister but it won't work.

Does this mean that the person is inside my iCloud system and access all my files?


How do I deregister this number listed on my system?
