If someone has access to your email or password, they can hack your account
I did not type that in chat

My opponent did not type my name and then the 3 exclamation points.
It's showing it as me typing it.
When I saw this I typed...?
And "Why are those exclamation points there?"
So does anyone have any idea how this happened?
I hope someone wasn't in my account 🤔
Changing your password seems like a good idea!!

True but to do all of that just to go to a daily game and type 3 sets of exclamation points seems a bit weird 🤔
I can't see any timestamp for when this happened either.
I also change my password frequently.

If it was a hack then they would have made some bad moves or said something offensive I would think 🤔

Also it's not a regular text like this !!
It's those big blue exclamation points that this website created. The emojis that you can put next to your username.
My phone doesn't have those big blue double exclamation points so I couldn't text that even if I wanted to.
This is weird.

I sent a bug report to the website and hopefully I get an answer
Not knowing how this happened would drive me crazy 🤪

Well unless you can reproduce it, or other people start seeing it, I am not optimistic anyone will have better answers.
We still haven't heard from the comedians.

I don't know if my opponent can see it. Still waiting for his response in the game chat.

I don't know how to take a screenshot and post it here. If anyone cares to explain how I can do that I would appreciate it.

Depends on your device.
But what game is it?

You might check with support, but I'm not sure if information on chat gets logged.

Chess players can be forgetful or worse if they play too much chess. That’s why many great chess players became crazy later in life. Ask yourself are you forgetful in life? Do you walk upstairs and then ask yourself what I’m doing here ?? You probably did type it but forgot you did.
My phone doesn't have those big blue exclamation points that chess.com created so I couldn't have typed them. I've tried to do it in chat to see if it can be done but I can't figure it out if it's possible.
I tried with the website and the app.
I sent a bug report so hopefully I get an answer 🤔

Ok apparently you can do it with the app. I wonder if it was by accident because of my touchscreen 🤔 Like how you accidentally call someone or send a text when you are moving around with your phone in your hand... I hope I'm not going crazy like a previous poster suggested 🤔 I'm not even good at chess! You're supposed to be a great player when you go crazy from chess 😔
