Login Icon Changed without Permission on Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

I went to login to my MacBook Air M1 today and it had a different icon when logging on. It normally is a yin yang symbol or my default picture for my iCloud account. This time it was something very different. Is my computer being accessed by someone else? Can I post an EtreCheck for review or any other detail that may show another user accessing my computer or possible remote entry/malware?

This can happen form time to time and for no apparent reason - Log In Avatar ( Chosen Picture ) change

I know because it has happened to me a few times

No panic and no one is mucking around on your computer IMHO.

In System Setting on Top Left choose your User Account Name

Mouse Over the Owl ( my chosen picture )

An Edit should appear

Choose Edit

A Second windows will open

Either Drag and Drop your chosen Ying Yang image into the placeholder or choose an offered image ( Avatar )
