Possible account hack

I was recently approached by a colleague to say that she saw me on one of her calls.  However, I wasn't on this call.  She sent me a screenshot of the participants.  My login name is Lynn DeBuhr Johnson, and the person logged in was Lynn DeBuhr.  It's a different enough name that we are concerned my account has been hacked. 

 

I have attached the screenshot she sent me of that part of the participants list.

Someone could be acting like you, or just a similar name. I'm assuming the former. It is easy to make your name another person's name or whatever name you want. I also notice from the screenshot the person is a Guest. To be safe, change your password, but what you described and the screenshot, I think someone just used your name, but not your Zoom account. To be safe, change your password.

 

If this answers your question, please mark as Accepted. Thank you.

Thank you for this!  I will change the password and see what happens.
