I Got Hacked!

32OrtonEdge32dh · Before February 2015

Basically, I log on to my email. Gmail tells me that "WARNING: Your account may be compromised!" I click on it and it shows all the times my account has been accessed, where, and how. I see the usual: computer, mobile, all from Maryland, and then the two that stand out: Spain and Saudi Arabia. I mean, WTF? I don't know anyone in either of these places. I've come up with two theories:
1. People on THESE VERY FORUMS are trying to trollolol me, or;
2. A high-profile terrorist ring is trying to use my email as a decoy to confuse the FBI. I'm gonna use my skills to do more investigating, but until then, I'd like your thoughts. Who would hack ME? Why?

EDIT: Removed pic as Chewy alerted me to the fact that my IP address was out there. A -rep to you, good sir!

I suggest pinging them to death!

It's because some morons decide in thier life to hack people's e-mail accounts and use them for sending inappropriate content to other people they hate. Then those people blame YOU.

Maybe its a fake warning and a way to hack you mail

Different55 · Before February 2015

change your password... why haven't you already? That should've been the first thing and you're lucky that the people hacking you (using proxies, obviously. that explains the 2 different locations) haven't changed it for you already.

Check for Spy-ware~

Chewy · Before February 2015

You get hacked so you go and post your ip address on the forums? Huh...

BEE · Before February 2015

Last time I checked, Gmail doesnt send those types of warnings, beware of phishing

supadorf24 · Before February 2015

Yes, what Bee said. It could be a scam, and it looks like one too. Don't click on that "Change your Password" button. Someone could be using an anonymous e-mail service to trick you.

32OrtonEdge32dh · Before February 2015

I changed my password before I even posted this.

They apparently do, it's clearly a secure site from mail.google.com a.k.a. GMail.

Didn't think that one through, did I....

I know that, the "theories" were jokes.

Don't much feel like it.

I didn't, I went to google.com and did it there.
Does that answer everyone?

Was this warning in the form of an e-mail?

32OrtonEdge32dh · Before February 2015

No, it was above my inbox, where they used to say something about "Coming soon: Better advertisements in Gmail. Learn more" with a link to one of their blog posts. Like when you delete a message and it tells you "The conversation has been moved to the Trash", right there.

...(is he serious?) I could find out tons of info with your IP, even where you live.

32OrtonEdge32dh · Before February 2015

Apparently not, I still don't know where I live.

Off-topic: Interesting that two mods reply to a lowly builder's topic. How am I still a builder, anyway? I post, like, 24/7.

A moderator's job is to look at, and sometimes post, in every thread they can.

Pugmatt · Before February 2015

They just hacked you for fun ._. , hackers love to see people suffer.

Because they're showing you your own IP address. Not someone else's.

Scary but true. The mods here could easily find out where you live.

Actually, one just sent me my personal information. I didn't really ask for it, and the "IDK where I live" was a joke.
