Today's the second time I've gotten that notification in gmail. I change my password every few months, they are straight out hacking gmail. For those of you who are unaware of this/haven't gotten this notification before; [url]http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/google-warning-gmail-users-china-spying-attempts-092310[/url] So, anybody gotten this notification? If so, frequently, just once, what? Also, I did a quick who.is search on the IP, led me to [url]http://www.apnic.net/[/url].

Today I wanted to fuck around with this asshole I hate. I found he had a ton of emails to my friends spreading rumors about me. I was able to get into his email easily by just knowing his email address and I went to "Forgot password" and chose the Security Question. It was easy, it asked for his mothers Maiden name. His moms maiden name is on her facebook page. Moral of the story. Pay attention to your security question. Thats probably where they are getting it from obvious things. Change it to something only you would know. I was able to do it to his sisters account too because it had the same security question. I would also run a scan on your computer for keyloggers or other viruses.
Yar I scan a lot, have yet to find anything using spybot s&d and avg free.
12345 is a bad password.
i went and checked as soon as i saw this thread
What is your account security question if you don't mind telling? I see you have quite a bit of info below your avatar. May I test if I could get in it? (PM maybe?) I promise no malicious stuff even if I look like a 10er I'm an alt of a 09er with 3000 posts.
I got this too, from South Korea... I live in Ireland.

[QUOTE=Dr. Fishtastic;26296152]That's good and all, but [b]did you sign him up for every gay porn mailing list in existence?[/b][/QUOTE] I thought about it but I couldn't bring myself to do it after deleting college information and unsubsribing him from said emails about the next "campus tour" tbh, its not all that bad. He is actually a horrible student who wants to go to Med school. HAH I say to that. [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Andokool12;26296189]Whoops you got me! Ah, nevermind, I see your point. I made it "what is your birthday?". Fail.[/QUOTE] Yah you should definatly change that. I checked mine after I did it to his and found that mine was "news source" and I remembered I chose ***** not telling even though I have no links to who I am IRL.
I too had this a few weeks back and my password was not the least but guessable. It's one of the most random combos of letters and numbers and that freaked me the fuck out. Made it like 30 characters now, no idea what made someone want to access the account, there's nothing of value there.
Can't say this has ever happened to me... and my Gmail account is old as dirt (I've been invited by a -back then- friend of mine)
[QUOTE=alphatwo;26296089]12345 is a bad password.[/QUOTE] Minimum of six characters, dummy. 123456
This happened to me before, too.
Check your shit for keyloggers.
[QUOTE=alphatwo;26296089]12345 is a bad password.[/QUOTE] Who the hell uses such a bad password? [editline]25th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=sink257;26302233]Minimum of six characters, dummy. 123456[/QUOTE] Welp, time to change my password.
I've only had my account compromised once about four years ago. Someone from Hungary hacked it. Thankfully they didn't send anything, I didn't want my contacts to see I advertise penis enlargement or someone from Africa with power.
Oh shit China. Everyone, check your gmail and everything they're snooping on your porn spam emails.
I had to change my password after TF2 made it a [i]fucking achievement![/i]
[QUOTE=Star Son;26296119] I'm an alt of a 09er.[/QUOTE] not much better

[QUOTE=itsDivine;26304691]:frog: And you're the one who still uses ur instead of you're.[/QUOTE] I think it doesn't matter as long as u can understand him
[QUOTE=ilolled;26303606]I had to change my password after TF2 made it a [i]fucking achievement![/i][/QUOTE] Hmm, I wonder what password I should guess. Actually, I'll just use this list of 117 TF2 achievement names and go down it one by one!
Changing your password every few months isn't anywhere nearly as helpful as not using the same password over and over again.
