Server Version#: Version 1.19.4.2935  
unraid server - using official plex docker

I have a user not on my friends list accessing my videos - I have never heard of them. I saw them on last night and then discovered they have been logging in for the past few days and watched several of my videos. Again they are not listed in my friends list and I dont recognize the user name.  
IDEAS???

Do you have Tautulli running and open to the public without authentification?

The reason I am asking is that access without being a friend of yours is possible when someone obtains your Plex token and Tautulli might be a source for that.
