So I was flipping through my Accounts list just out of boredom and discovered a new account on my computer, named "Tor." Tor had his own password, etc, but no user folder. I have firewall enabled on my Mac, and am wondering how this came about. I am also the only one who uses this computer.

Is it possible that my computer was hacked? This seems somewhat unlikely, but there's still no other explanation as to how this account was created.

Edit: Ugh, I feel like an idiot. I think it was just some program called "Tor" I downloaded and installed a while ago. 😡
