I'm seeing this weird, small, location-like arrow indicator pop up in the menu bar after login. It appears only briefly, goes from blue, to regular, then shrinks away. All this transpires in less than five seconds.
Sometimes, it appears as a large block, then for a split second looks like a big arrow again, then just disappears.
Should I be worried about any security or privacy issues, here?

I hope this is native to the system. Otherwise, I'm concerned...
I would not be concerned.
