Unknown Computers in my Network

Hi,


I noticed some unknown computers appear, disappear and reappear time to time in my networks on my Macbook Pro. I literally have no idea who these computers are and what their relation with my computer is. Anybody knows why such things happen and how may i prevent such occassions? Did I get hacked?

You are not hacked.


These are computers nearby, on the same network or within WiFi radius. The pose no danger. It just means that these machines are available to link to, but to do that both you and the owner of the other machine would have to explicitly set it up between you.
