Very interesting info details you posted. Regarding possible security breach you’re experiencing is real concerning.

A friend of mine had a similar experience, but not with FR. With, of all things, verizon. Logged in and was addressed by an unfamiliar user name. Reported to verizon, which shrugged it off -- they didn't know or care what happened. I was consulted -- took it to my favorite techie who said (as best I recall in my non-techie mind) that it was a hack by a shadow user, not a hack of verizon but of the individual's device, and the hacker probably has a shadow presence for every site visited. In other words your every keystroke is monitored by someone. Maybe a government spook, maybe a dark web freak; no way to know for sure, and even your internet provider doesn't give a rap.
