Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

EDITED

IMHO first error was going to Geek Squad as per previous posting and second error is Webroot as per the first 206 posting related to that specific Application

Refer to below for " Webroot " and Other bad actors that should be removed as per the Developers Instructions.

Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

This includes AntiVirus & Disk Cleaners

This will include CleanMyMac 

This will include BitDefender 

This will included Norton Antivirus

Sophos Av Software

Intego AntiVirus

McAfee

MacKeeper

Avast AntiViru 

Ad Guard

Webroot <<<<<<<

The The Built in Security  is all that is required.

The IP address for your computer was not "breached". That's nonsense. And the dweebs as geek squad couldn't find their *** with both hands and a flashlight. Avoid them at all costs.

As for websites being entered by "unauthorized user", Why do you believe that to be the case?

The update is safe.

Webroot, and other 3rd party antivirus software, is worthless on a Mac. It was probably 'removed' because it's not compatible with the new version of macOS.

You still need to remove the remnants of it as referenced above.

What makes you think all your important passwords were "changed"?

Of course.

There are millions of us users who have updated. What are your concerns.

That wouldn't be the result of upgrading your OS. Maybe poor password management at best, but still likely not a cause for concern. Change your passwords and run malwarebytes.
