Has my site dashboard been hacked?

  I have noticed a weird change to a page in my website which happened overnight.
  A form on a page which sends input to an email address shows the email address as being edited to include ‘%26#x002c’ overnight.

  It was [contact-form to='(email visible only to moderators and staff)’

  but was revised overnight (by my username) to be
  [contact-form to='(email visible only to moderators and staff)%26#x002c’

  I checked the login statistics and there is no entry of me logging in at the time.
  I know that I physically did not login as it was overnight.
  I am guessing that my password was NOT used as it would show that I logged in which id does not.

  So, I am wondering how this was magically added and should I worry about it.
  I have edited the change out of the page but I am left wondering and a bit nervous.

  Has this been seen before? Is it an issue to worry about?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

  That is not a WordPress.com site, but a WordPress.ORG site and you need to be at their support forums for help with that. Try this thread (and you’ll need to create a new login, if you’ve never logged in there before) http://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-specific-bugs-found-in-jetpack-contact-forms?replies=1

  Oops! Thank you.
  Yes, I see that the %26#x002c has been reported in an earlier entry by pictureitsolved who writes

  I’ve found that the Jetpack contact form puts in
  %26#x002c; for comma (,)

  Thank you
