Just logged into my site today as administrator and my admin menus are in Russian. Has anyone else seen this?
I tried to set the en-us but it won't change. Cleared cache as well

It's the header and footer in the Admin menu that is showing in Russian, and only in the admin menus of the Nova theme.

Seems to be only in the Nova theme. I switched to FlashBack and then to Sage and they are still in English.
I'll see if I can find the language files for the Nova admin Header and footer menus. Or can you tell me where to look.
I'm also looking at the logs for when this may have happened

Look in .htaccess maybe - the few times I've been hacked by Russians they've hidden their changes in there.

Seams unusual that someone would hack your site and translate your menus.

Got a screenshot?

--edit--
would be a good idea to change your admin password immediately.

I agree it is odd. Maybe this is how they look for vulnerabilities?

This is odd as well, Went to change my password in the Admin panel and get this Message:
"The email address you entered is already being used by another account"
The email is correct but the System won't let me change password because of this.

This means there is already another account in the system using the email address you are trying to change to.
