Someone I knew had emails disappearing in gmail, and at somepoint we were able to see it happening in realtime. Person had a weak password, and gmail showed someone being logged in from a strange location. Logged everything out and changed to new password and been OK since.
- vog 10y agoCall me paranoid, but I wouldn't trust an account after somebody has broken in. In that case I'd create a different account with a different password, possibly at a different provider, and tell all people that my email address changed. Maybe I'd also create a forwarding from the old to the new account, but only for transition period over a few months.
- baby 10y agoit's gmail, if you change the password the other person is out. It's not a computer. You can also log out all active sessions.
