Someone changed my bank information during my 2021 tax return

After using the IRS Where's my refund tool, it notified me that I should have already received my refund over a week ago on the 16th, but TurboTax still shows the status as accepted, but not returned. Upon further investigating I decided to check my 1040 form to see the bank account information. The account routing number traces back to an MVB bank, similar to other people facing this problem. I've only ever had one bank and one account my entire life and yet when I selected "use direct deposit from last tax return" it someone has a new bank account and routing number that I've never seen before!! To make things even worse it seems that TurboTax doesn't allow you to change banking info unless you're filing. What's going on here?!?!?! Did someone somehow change my account information to route to their bank?? Why have I not received a reject notice if so?? Did someone successfully pretend to open an account using my information at this bank as me. I've seen multiple other people mention a similar problem relating to an MVB bank.

 

The only other explanation I can think is that possibly the money is being transferred to TurboTax through that banking and routing number, and then when they receive it they send it to me. I thought maybe this could be possible, but upon checking my tax return from last year, it shows all my correct banking information. What is happening?!?!?!
