Safari shut down my Mac

Safari didn't freeze or force quit.

It actually shut down my whole computer.

How do I check if I have been hacked?

That sounds like a Kernel Panic: If your Mac restarts and a message appears - Apple Support


It is not normal and should not happen, and might never happen again. If it does though, post a copy of that KP report in a reply. It does not often reveal anything you can fix, but on rare occasions it could be helpful.


In any event it is not any indication of something nefarious going on.
