I got a nasty surprise when I logged in early this morning (I couldn't sleep, so I decided to play some Minecraft, work on a build).
My skin changed.
I've had the same skin for probably two years now (my normal skin is the only skin I have ever had besides the default Steve one)
suddenly, I found out that I have this zombie endercreep or something.
I don't have many good pics of my old skin, but this is the new skin I am suddenly working with (please note that I forgot to take off my character's iron helmet in my surprise):
What on earth could have happened? Was my account hacked and someone change my skin without my permission? If so, I have no idea how to retrieve my old one, because I don't remember where my old skin was (I've had my old skin since Beta 1.8.1, which is when I bought the game.)
first off if you are 100% that you have never put that skin on your account and you are not logged at minecraft.net than I would change your password asap and if your account is not migrated migrate it asap.
If you have used that skin before than it might just be mc rolling back to an older skin
If you are logged into minecraft.net then it might just be one of your friends playing a trick on you but I would still change your pass and migrate just to be safe.
Hmmm. I just migrated my account (I never log in on Minecraft.net online, only through the launcher itself) after reading your reply (I didn't even know what it was until I looked on the website to see the option). Guess I should change the password too. Irritating, going to have to update my computer's auto-login for stuff.
And I am 100% certain that I have never used that skin before. Ever. I have only ever had one skin. I lucked out and found my old skin on another website (or one that is close enough to my old one that it'll work) and have changed it back, but I guess I'll have to change my password as well. It's the same account and password I've used for two years, and I'm irritated that this is happening now.
Anyway, thanks Agent3045 for the reply. I'll follow your advice to lockdown the account.

Help?

Hope this helps
