Hello,
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this thing, since I am kinda new to Macrumors.
This weird thing just happened to me; today I reinstalled my Macbook Pro 13", with the official USB stick which I bought at the Apple online store. After installing Lion (which I did using the previous mentioned stick), I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed some of my most used apps (Chrome, Photoshop, Espresso).
Then, I wanted to install Twitter, so I fired up the App Store, searched for Twitter and clicked the nifty little "Install" button. I had to login to my Apple account... BUT, the e-mail address was filled in with an e-mail address I've never heard of (kyle_chenyujia at hotmail dot com). No one I know has this e-mail address, and besides, I didn't leave my laptop unattended today, it was right in my home, only my girlfriend was home, and she didn't touch it.
I ignored that fact, filled in my own e-mail address and password, and clicked the login button. Then, I got an "unknown error" Window popup. Whatever. I tried again, and again that mysterious e-mail address popped up.
I am quite puzzled, I can't seem to think of a cause other than an error at Cupertino, or a security breach...
Is this normal? Does this happen more?
EDIT: to make this more clear, I captured it in a video, which can be seen on Youtube
