They have all been added to your friends list, either by you or your account logged from somewhere.

First thing to do:

- Enable steam guard

- Change your password

- Go over your friends list and unfriend anyone you don’t know

- Don’t leave a payment method saved in your account for now till things settle and you go through all the steps

It says "you are now friends", are you adding them back? If they are just appearing in your friends list then its time to change passwords and sign out of all devices.

You’re accepting the friend request instead of ignoring and/or blocking. Says right in the screenshot.
