Why my Linux server time changed?

Hi,

I just encountered a strange problem on my Linux server, the server time made a jump of more than an hour and I have no idea of the cause. There is no other admin (no hacker, I verified) than me and I did not change it myself.

Do know some possible causes why this problem may happen?

Thanks in advance.
