Hi. Thanks for reply. I have Eero VPN. I noticed an uptick in their count of phishing threats at same time our credit card was stolen. Eero said to turn off DNS cache. Do you have any other suggestion how to secure my data. Thanks.

Also, are you seeing any unexpected activity on your Mac or in Safari? If so, please explain that in a bit more detail. If you see pop-ups or other unexplained happenings in Safari, you may have some malware on your computer. If that's the case, malware removal software will help.

We hope this helps.
