Should I be worried?

No one in my family has a mac, I have never used one. I don't know anyone with one. No one in the world knows my password.

Should I be worried?

OP now you need to think how you may have been compromised. Have you logged in under a public wifi?

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...

Never have, I don't have a laptop, only my PC which has always been in my house and connected to my wifi.

Change all passwords on your accounts and make sure that they haven't gotten into any of them.  I had this issue a while back and they got into my pay pal and could have done damage but I got to it early enough. Then I made a new email completely and deleted that one because I didn't trust it.

OP, change password. Make sure password is LONG (at LEAST 16 digits long) contains 1 or more numbers and 1 or more special digits (such as $#@!). This makes it hard for someone to hack into your accounts using a brute force method.

My Rig: 2x Xeon x5690 @ 3.45Ghz 24GB DDR3 EEC RAM Asus STRIX GeForce GTX 970 SuperMicro X8DT3 Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Here's a little TL;DR of what you need to know about the GTX 970 and R9 390

R9 390 works better in VRAM-bound scenarios and compute bound scenarios and is best paired with higher end processors

GTX 970 works better in CPU-bound scenarios and tessellation bound scenarios and is best paired with lower end processors

My password is 16 digits long and has capitals and numbers, I just don’t understand how they got in
