# User Logins Changing?

 * Yesterday morning I went to log into the back end of my site, and I received 
   an invalid username error. I thought this was odd, so after trying a handful 
   of more times, I logged into my web host, and found that the username for both
   of my accounts had been changed. I changed them both to something new, and I 
   was able to log into my site.
 * All of the accounts were showing the same random username and password in my 
   database.
 * This morning, I also received the same problem.
 * Anybody have any ideas what could be causing the user login names and passwords
   to be changing at random?

 * Web host did a scan of the server, and everything came back clean. They have 
   a newer backup than I do, do they are restoring the site for me to an earlier
   time.
 * Thanks for all of your help!
