    Hi
    So, a while ago I came online
    Did my usual stuff, came onto forums and teamspeak and then Minecraft.
    Thing is, I was logged out of Minecraft. I never logged off yesterday, and always stay signed in (automatically signs in when I open the launcher.) So then, I put in my username and password, it was fine. I was glad about that, I thought I had been hacked or something, but it doesn't end there. I went to servers and direct connect, some random server I've never heard of was there. Could someone possibly have hacked me but thankfully not changed my password?
    Maybe this sounds stupid but I'm just making sure.
    Thanks

    I never changed my password though, or logged out of my account.

    Your server list isn't changed by your account. The server list is saved on your computer.

    I know that, but there was a server I never went on which seems a bit weird.

    Hmm, thats strange, my best advice is change your password just to be safe. :)

    Also, if you used a different launcher (E.g Magic Launcher) the Minecraft launcher will think you have logged into your account from a different computer, so it asks you to verify that you are the user. Is that the case? Because except that, nothing you said relates to someone hacking your account. There is a slight chance that your computer was hacked, which would explain that extra server.

    Actually I remember now, I tried to use ATLauncher, but it wouldn't work and I never got to entering my details. Could it have been the IP or something? I opened the launcher but it wouldn't work and then logged off for the night. Maybe that was it.

    Sounds weird, each MC client has their own server list/singleplayer world. A friend let me borrow his account with a seperate client, and I still had my own singleplayer world/server list. (I gave it back, don't worry)

    Do you have ANY siblings (brothers or sisters)? If so, could they possibly be the ones behind this?

    If someone logs in to your account and then adds a server, it won't show up on your computer.
    servers and words are per computer. so if you log in to any account you'll have the same worlds and servers. and if you add a world or server it adds to the minecraft file
    minecraft is not cloud

    A brother, but he wouldn't go near my computer and if he did, he wouldn't play Minecraft.
    Thanks anyway.

    I'm going to lock this thread, because like I said to @Spake , I used a mod launcher so that might be the case.
    Thanks anyone who tried to help :P
    That still doesn't explain the server in my direct connect
