BofA account number changed overnight?

I logged in to my BofA cashrewards card this morning to make a payment and I noticed that the last 4 of the account num looked different, so I click on show full account number and the number is completely different, is that normal? I was wondering if maybe there was a breach that BofA was made aware of and they are issuing new nums?

Macy's went to 16-digit card numbers a few months ago.

It just means they're reissuing your card. Nothing to panic about.

I just checked my account and my account number is still the same. Keep us posted once they notify you of why they changed your account number.

If you're concerned, call BoA and ask them.

They are prob issuing you a new card as it may have been compromised by a merchant happens to me all the time.
