Facebook Notifications Not Loading

I was doing my common morning regimen last Sunday (June 19) when I found something strange about my Facebook account: I'm obtaining alerts from individuals I do not know. Much more particularly, I'm obtaining 'likes' and remarks from status updates and also web links that I didn't upload, as well as updates from groups I did not join.

I actually don't know for sure it this was associated with that, however at the very least I might rest simple that I've found a solution for it.
