Was my account hacked?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here

I logged on to my old msn messenger account today and was shocked to see that my screenname read "i love guys".

Now I have 2 computers at home. My labtop and my family computer. When I logged on to my old account on my family computer, i had my usual screenname on my old account. But when I looged on to my old account for the first time on my labtop, it read "i love guys".

Does this mean that somebody had been playing around on my account from another computer? If so, is there anyway I could figure out when, where and who my old account was hacked by?

thanks

Well, are you sure that it was not like this previously and you just forgot to change it?
Another possibility could be that someone changed it [perhaps by mistake] if you have your password saved on the login screen.
I don't think it was hacked, as that is a difficult thing to do and does not happen as often as you may think.

Sounds like a joke a sibling or friend would do on you.

Or perhaps you drunk?

i doubt someone would go to the hassle of hacking your account to just change your name.
