Description
Version 5.5.1.
I have never ever had this issue before, but just now I started getting popups with the "You accessed a public folder" title and profiles of users I have no idea who they are. Should this be seen as a security issue?
Seems to have been a thing in the past as well: https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/3197

Research direction
Start by reviewing the referenced issue #3197 and the reported behavior in Keybase client version 5.5.1. Reproduce the unexpected public-folder popups with unknown users and determine whether they indicate a client bug or security issue; done requires a confirmed cause and a clear resolution or documented disposition.
