Just a few minutes before this, logging into the web side, I noted while the page is loading, a series of non-English characters in the place of each icon in the upper right part of the page. When the page fully loaded of course the icons/images and associated English text popped into place.
Is this somehow intentional, or unfortunate due to international hackers? I cannot imagine for a site which has an 'English only' policy, inclusion of non-English terms is a thing.
