Strange 404 Error URLs in Google Analytics Dashboard

    Hey folks, any ideas/help is greatly appreciated.

    I have been seeing a lot of 404 errors on Google Analytics Dashboard in WordPress in recent times. When I try to open the links being shown on the dashboard, they lead to my 404 page. The strange thing is that the URL endings throwing up the 404 are not in any way related to my website. So far, I have not yet seen these same errors showing up in Google Search Console, howver.

    Some of the URL endings that are throwing off 404 errors include:

    /deals?typeName=deals-of-the-week
    /deals?typeName=free-gifts
    /personal-banking/common-questions
    /ticket/campaign/2018-Homepage-Herobanner/store/well?sourceName=homepage
    /ticket/campaign/2018-Homepage-Hot-Deals/coupon/well?store=well&sourceName=deals
    Source: (direct)
    /fbe_en/rates/index.html

    Is there any rational reason why I am starting to see this URLS? What do they mean? Where are they from?

    I have looked closely at my sitemaps and none of these links are there. I am really worried that my website has been hacked. However, when I contacted my web host, they said they did not find any malicious activity on the server, but that was all the help they could offer.

    Please any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
