A search of the security log shows that the password was reset via email twice today (this is likely the result of my test above and one other person's similar test. Other then that the most recent password change was on February 23, which is over a week after you last posted which would imply that your password was not hacked.

I just did a quick test, if you send a password reset email and don't click on the link, it doesn't show up on seclog. so most likely the two resets were by the hacker.
Well the seclog shows the password was reset via email at  March 08, 2015, 06:50:34 PM and and March 08, 2015, 07:00:53 PM. The OP was made on  March 08, 2015, 06:36:48 PM, or a good ~25 minutes prior to the first password reset via email.

There is a lot of potential speculation that can be done regarding who or what caused these password resets via email, however I think it is safe to say that whoever changed the password on February 23, 2015, 06:45:54 PM (the most recent prior password change) probably consented to such a password change (either directly or through an [escrow] agent), as almost two weeks had passed since the password had changed and several (three per the post history) posts were made since the password was changed.

Prior to the password being changed on the above date/time was a post in late January, and prior to that was numerous sporadic posts that were (IMO) being made in order to capture activity points every two weeks.
