Whoa! Hold up! What does this mean?
« on: July 03, 2011, 09:22:19 PM »
I got a warning from google and the logs confirm what it said...

The warming was:

Warning: We believe that your account was recently accessed from: China (163data.com.cn:123.185.197.61).

And the logs show this:



I do everything on this email account. Should I be concerned? Does this mean my account was hacked? I changed my password but I'm not sure what else I can/could do.

Depends on the level your account was compromised, you may have to change the passwords on every website you've used that address to register on, or at least sites you re-used that password with.  I had to do that when my Yahoo! account was hacked last year.  Other than that, not sure what else to tell you.

I keep all my registration/logins in a separate folder so I know who I've used that account with.

Yes.

There was recently a large number of google accounts compromised by the chicoms.  I know one of these people - and they work in the industry so should have damn well known better.

Change your password.

If I have to tell you the guidelines for a secure password , I'ma bitchslap your ass.

Make sure you don't have a keylogger on your comp.

I'm not to worried about that sort of thing. I'm the only one using the computer and I'm running Linux so all should be fine :)

Virus and malware scanners usually pick them up.

Failing that use a process viewer that displays hidden tasks and have a good idea what should and shouldn't be on that list.
