Rogue devices on my broadband connection
Some in my neighbourhood has put a device on my WiFi that is scanning for apple iTunes sync. They used this to get on my WiFi through a sync vulnerability l, I've also had Nessus and other port scanning applications installed on my Smart Tav. I'm not sure how this was done,

Re: Rogue devices on my broadband connection
@maana assuming you have not changed the Sky hub's security settings the overwhelming most likely way a third party has accessed you. WiFi network is by knowing the password. Although it is theoretically possible to hack any wifi network it is highly unlikely certainly not to hack Apple Music!. You can easily change the WiFi password if you suspect it has leaked see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/find-and-change-your-wireless-password
Apple devices use short range communications over bluetooth to communicate to allow AirPlay etc as explained here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep9151c4ace/web Could thst be an explanation?
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode

How are you discovering this out? As has been stated it is unlikely anyone could access your network unless they know the password, which you can change if needs be.
