Perhaps 100% unrelated, but for the first time since its launch I just got a 'suspicious activity' notice when I tried to log onto my Google Accounts/Gmail within the past hour. I got in ok and changed my password drastically, however one of the first emails I got of course was one from MtGox letting me know about this. Probably unconnected, but I could imagine them trying to take a hit on a lot of registered Gmail accounts after they got the information. I only signed up for an MtGox account, but I've never traded with it or really used Bitcoin.
- wcoenen 15y agoAll gmail addresses in the leaked file (including mine) got this notice. It's just a precaution from google. I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't just sign me out and suggest a password change rather than force it (since I already use their 2-step authentication scheme and use different passwords for everything). On the other hand I'm happy to know that Google cares so much about the security of my account.
- tibbon 15y agoHmm, figuring this is just likely (hopefully?) my iPhone or something, but my gmail shows an account login using IMAP from United States (MI) (198.228.226.x) about an hour ago. I've never been to that state. EDIT: Nevermind, my have been my phone or something, because MaxMind is showing that IP as Ohio (where I am).
