Hello Maybellyne and thanks for your information.
I found the culprit and will explain here in case anyone needs a reference in the future.
We found out that some SEO scammers accidentally (or intentionally, still a mystery) redirected multiple domain names to our server’s IP address. Our server runs Nginx and Nginx accepts all domains by default. So when someone -or a bot- visits the said 3rd party domain, they see our website. At this point, I’m not sure, maybe Yoast thinks “hmm, this must be the new domain for this website I’m living in, let’s update the canonical URL for this page” and updates the canonical URLs for whatever pages were visited.
We configured Nginx to accept only our domain and do a 301 permanent redirect if the domain does not match. This has resolved our canonical issue.
Thanks again, have a great day.

In reply to: Unknown users starting with “cron”So it may be a Wordfence issue? It seems to be the only common variable here. I don’t know if Wordfence needs to create admin users to perform some background jobs but if it is the one who is creating these users, it needs to remember cleaning up after itself :]

In reply to: Unknown users starting with “cron”I only have Wordfence installed. I usually use this installation for development purposes and reset it to a fresh installation from time to time so it is usually empty.
Please let me know if you need further information.
Thank you
