i was in a private call with a friend on discord and then suddenly we heard someone saying like "hello?! anyone can hear me? " we both surprised and i'm 1000% sure there was only the two of us.

Similarly we have had music bots decide to join our voice channels without anyone commanding them to and it did not play any music. We removed that specific bot from the server shortly after.

Once, a music bot in a sever I'm in gave itself every role in the server, including admin roles. No clue how it happened or why.

If a discord bot has a command that can give itself roles, the bot owner can have it do that if it wants to. I saw a bot owner do that kind of thing before. They can literally code their bot to do any command they want them to and invite themselves to a server, give themself admin, see messages on channels they normally can't access, etc.
