Apple ID icon photo changed

Hi, When I woke my computer from sleep, my apple ID photo icon had changed. I haven't changed the photo in years and I do not have another apple ID associated with any of my devices. The day before, my computer went into guest mode when I woke it from sleep--it didn't require a guest log in, it was just logged in as a guest. Should I be concerned that someone is accessing my computer?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

If you were just using one of the 'canned' avatars and it switched to a different one, it is unlikely that anything of consequence happened. The icon-number got clobbered. Just set it to what you want and continue.


Hackers do not bother to "mess with you" by changing your Icons, because they don't get to see you get flustered. They try to steal your money or get full access to your computer to turn it into a spam-bot instead.
