Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

I Got Hacked!
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!

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.

Re: I Got Hacked!
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.

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

Re: I Got Hacked!
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.

Re: I Got Hacked!
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.
so you go and post your ip address on the forums? Huh...
Didn't think that one through, did I....

See BEE.
It's because some morons decide in thier life to hack people's e-mail accounts and use them for sending inaproppriate content to other people they hate. Then those people blame YOU.
I know that, the "theories" were jokes.
pinging them to death!
Don't much feel like it.
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.
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?

Re: I Got Hacked!
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.

Re: I Got Hacked!
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.

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.
