I think my account got hacked or something

So when I was spectating my friends game today, I saw a message saying another login has been detected, I just went to check with my dad to see if he had logged on, he said no, no one else knows the password to my chess.com account other than my dad and me. I am quite scared if someone else logged onto my account, after writing this post I am going to change all my passwords.

Please can some of the chess.com staff help me?

Must probably it was a bug or you did not realize you had two tabs opened. 

Account hacking is extremely difficult and unlikely to occur, especially if the person seeking to harm you does not know your email or other means by which he/she  could "hack" you. Chess.com servers are very secure, and account theft is virtually impossible.

 

well, Im 90% sure i didn't have any extra tabs open

chessplayground

im pretty sure i didnt

It is almost always a second tab or secondary device. Even a background tab can cause it.

That was what I originally intended to say.
