Very bizzare/worrying problem

Hi there,
Got a very strange problem that is worrying me.
I logged into iCloud yesterday and in the top right hand corner there is a picture of someone that clearly is not me, I did not set this picture. However I know the person in the photograph.. This continues with the "Contacts" section of the "Mail, contacts calendars" settings on my actual iPhone, there "My Info" is set to the name of that person! Am very worried about this and plan to reset all passwords.. But I ask how is this possible?

I appear to have security issues with Apple at the moment. I hope it's just coincidence and they haven't been hacked.

At first guess it has become confused over what image you associate with yourself (if any). It tends to use the one you use as your account picture in OS X. No idea how it works for a Windows user.

Very strange as I have never set a an image for my iCloud profile. Although the person does share the same first name as me. I have reset my password and security question, anything else I can do?

I'm assuming you have an iPhone or iPad?

You haven't used the Facebook sync friends thing have you?

It syncs your and your friends Facebook profile pics to your address book, and then that is copied to iCloud.

For the record... Mine is all in order.

iPhone 4 yes. No I haven't used the Facebook, I may have done the twitter sync thing however.. don't see how that would change my personal info and iCloud picture however
