Can games be hacked or are there bugs?

I am involved in a game where I am playing someone ranked 250+ points lower. I logged on today and the game indicates I made two uncharacteristically stupid moves that I have no memory of ever having made. One move is so bad that it is impossible to believe that anyone would have made it. Is it possible that something got crossed somehow and moves were made for me? It is just impossible that I could have played the moves. I have played the same openings for years, these are just moves I could NOT ever make even in my sleep.

UPDATE: I am just resigning and taking the points hit. I don't know what the heck happened. I still like Redvii's comments....LOL

It's possible somebody has/guessed your password and sabotaged your game. It's also possible you got drunk on a Friday night and decided to play some chess.

LOL... You are probably right. I suppose it is unlikely that somehow there is a bug. It is just that I play this long version of chess so that I have plenty of time to think out my moves... What is most bizzare is that I supposedly made the two moves that i would NEVER have done. I have been in that position a hundred times and always play everything at that point on the other side of the board. Weird.
