Hi,
It appears your environment has changed and possibly your shell as well.
Considering you're machine was compromised, unless you know exactly what
happened, I would not just restore user homes. The only reason your prompt
would change after a backup is if you had customized ~/.bash_profile then not
backedup/restored it.
You said your home dir is /bin/bash, I presume you mean your shell.
It looks like a stock bash prompt your at.
To reset the prompt the way you want it, look at "PROMPTING" in 'man bash'
Custom global prompt settings are usually put in one of the a scripts in
/etc/profile.d/
I think what your after would look something like:
PS1="${pc}\]\u@\h \W\\$ ${RC}\]"
