When I opened the terminal today on my MacOS laptop I got a last logged on message and on my line where I can type it says JohnBatasiPhone:~ AlbertRenshaw$

I don't know anyone named "John Batas"... and none of my iPhone devices have that name. I am Albert Renshaw, but what does the JohnBatasiPhone mean? Does my computer have a security breach?

I literally know nothing about terminal so I had a hard time even wording the title to this question (If anyone wants to edit it to contain the proper words it would be much appreciated).

When I type HostName, the output is johnbatasiphone.att.net.

It's your host name. You can change it by typing

sudo scutil –-set HostName new_hostname

in terminal where new_hostname is your preffered name.
