Screen saver or hacked?

Hi all,

today my computer went black when I left it for a moment. It had text on it with big white letters saying my name and then MacBook Air.

any idea what that is? Some sort of screensaver or have I been hacked?

freaking out a bit here.

Random shut down and pink square in bottom corner of screen Hello Everyone! My question is about my new MacBook Air M1 2020 (I've had it for maybe 2 months). As I was simply reading an article, it shut down to the screen you see in the photo, and then powered back on as if nothing was wrong. Is there something I should be concerned about? Should I take it in to Apple? Thanks for your thoughts!

Is my computer hacked? Last night my computer( MAC notebook air) went dark although it was fully charger. I tried to start it with my usual Apple ID password. It would start to open and then shut down again. This happened repeatedly. Once I saw a generic profile labeled guest user.

Audio Message: Your computer has been shut down . . Using MacBook Pro latest iOS. Was in Safari, typed in “Facebook” in browser. Clicked. Did not double check address before clicking. Entered User ID. Entered p/w. Received numeric code re: 2 step verification. Entered it. Home screen changed to a blue screen with a few desktop app icons (not mine). Another screen on top was flashing a message that looked like it was related to a PC. An audio message repeatedly stated my computer was _____ (don’t recall, perhaps shut down), because someone had used my IP address to access a site with dense virus ______. Prior to attempting to logon to Facebook, I was on Safari and entered “Baltimore Jewish Rummage,” which I’d never visited, and forgot was told was a Facebook group. Repetitive audio message said not to shut down computer or restart. It flashed a phone number and the word Microsoft was in the flashing screen message. I closed the laptop. What now?

It's the screen saver... you can change it in System Preferences.
