What can happen if about 4 months ago I backed into a car in a parking lot but didn’t know I did it so I left?

Supposedly, it was captured all on someone’s cell phone and they found out my information and made a claim against the insurance policy I am under. I was told I had to be taken off my insurance because I was now considered a high risk driver because I had another at fault accident in the same year. I was never contacted by the police or the DMV. Is this accident on my driving record and can it affect my potential careers?

It could be on your driving record if the insurance company reported it. I am unsure how it came to be that you were unaware you hit another vehicle but you'll be able to inform your insurance company of this as your response and fight it.
