Terminal host changed

I opened terminal today and realized that the usual startup text:

my-macbook-pro:~ myUsername$_

has been replaced by:

mscs256-24197:~ myUsername$_

I tried googling but couldn't find anything. I'm pretty sure the computers in our math building are named mscs-xxx (math sci comp sci) so maybe somebody logged in remotely? When I type in the command hostname it replies with: [email protected].

Any ideas on how this could have happened (I just disabled remote login and haven't used any of those computers in months) and how to fix it would be much appreciated. thanks.
