Problems with mySQL?

Has anything happened overnight with MySQL on Pluto (www.cgf.net)?
I'm getting an error
I cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user: 'cgfdd31_mark707@localhost' (Using password: YES)

It looks like the Database user has disappeared!

It would appear that all the database users that I had created in MySQL, had disappeared or been deleted. I've recreated them all now.
There were 3 affected websites, which are all in the same hosting package.
Andrew, has there been any suspicious activity on my account? I should be the only one with access.

Kev,

I've looked through by hand the Apache log files for yesterday night. There was no malicious activity at all, no one logged into cPanel either.

I personally think this might be a cPanel glitch. Yesterday cPanel deleted the whole httpd.conf when it was actually only supposed to be removing an SSL certificate entry. One of the many cPanel maintenance scripts that runs nightly may have done this.
