Strange Text in Terminal?

Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to Macs, so this might be an asinine oversight on my part, but I just logged in today, opened up Terminal, and noticed that the section of the prompt that normally contains my machine name ("Mobile") has been changed to "MARK". The fact that I know no one named Mark and that I just traveled through several airports makes me nervous. I checked in system prefs, and my machine name is still "Mobile". To clarify, my prompt used to read "Mobile:~myname$" and now reads "MARK:~myname$".

Does anyone know how to fix this, and whether or not it is cause for alarm?

Thanks in advance.
