      You changed your username in Febuary?

      I would suggest you change your password if you don't recognise it.

      EDIT: Your IP Address history also has a match with https://forum.plutonium.pw/user/toasty/ so I'd lean on the route that you were hacked and had your username stolen, although this cannot be proved. I can see you don't have 2FA turned on though so all I can suggest is to use this in the future. https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/4/enable-2-factor-authentication

        I'm by no means a security freak but I do like to think I keep my accounts locked down. The email associated with the account was not hacked/stolen, and neither were any other accounts of any type of mine.

        So I guess that someone, somehow guessed my password consisting of something personal... then changed my username to "swap546456".

        Would I be able to get my other username back?

        Also, since you said the IP history matches with the other account, would I possibly be able to get that IP history list to potentially see if the location (hoping whoever did it wasn't using a VPN) lines up with anyone I know for potential "security troubleshooting"? (I don't know how to word it). Thank You.
