can iphone be hacked through bluetooth

On my iphone 6 bluetooth setting I have noticed the words "discoverable as Iphone" . Next to devices, it says "C1Pro". I have no idea what the device C1Pro is. Last night the Device was "EddieHP". I do own an HP laptop but my name is not Eddie. I have switched the bluetooth setting to off. Is this something to be concerned about ? I have reset my password on my icloud account and now have 2 step authentication running which i did not have before. In was concerned someone had compromised my icloud account.- is it possible to monitor an iphone 6 if an icloud account is compromised?

That means if you desire you can pair to C1Pro or EddieHP. The key words are "you desire". If you do not, then do not tap on those names and do not choose to pair with them.

Those devices have Bluetooth enabled and are advertising the fact that you can pair with them if you desire. What they have chosen for their Bluetooth names you would have to check their Bluetooth setup/configurations.

Just having Bluetooth enabled does not make you hackable.
