Is this a private or an office computer? Is it possible that someone had access to computer during the night?
LinuxJournal has an interesting note about a possible case (
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7743):
"So, can you trust your computer? Unless you carry it with you everywhere, you really can't. This is true even if the disks have been encrypted. Consider this scenario: someone steals your computer as you sleep. The thief makes a copy of the encrypted contents of the computer, even though they are useless to him without their encryption key. He then replaces the encrypted laptop contents with something a little more diabolical and puts the computer back. When you wake up the next day, the computer prompts for an encryption password as it does every morning. But this time when you provide the key it electronically transmits the key to the thief. Because he now has a copy of your data and key, he can read your files."
I know, this might sound a bit paranoid, but it's you who felt the need for encryption.
