How does a prepaid mastercard just show up in your wallet ?

Got a notification that a Mastercard in my wallet can not be used. Opened wallet to find an unknown prepaid Mastercard in my wallet.

The bank that issued it put it there. It’s possible it was a gift card you previously added and it was updated.


It could also be that your Apple Account is compromised. Does anyone have easy access to your account and or other Apple devices?
