The random user switching had been happening occasionally until some update a month ago, something to do with stale websockets. Never heard of anyone successfully exploiting it, like making posts or seeing PMs. All you get is to see someone else's username. OP, if it happens to you again, try to make a post quickly before the session throws you out to prove whether it is a security risk!
