Worse than an outage, I got this dreaded email from Google a few hours ago. I hope there isn't some sort of attack going on:
Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account - xxx@gmail.com.
We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account.

- mr_spothawk 13y agoI had this today as well. Where was your attempt coming from? Mine was in HK. (To be fair, I think it was my own machine attempting to connect via VPN)
- cheapsteak 13y agoGot one yesterday from Anhui China. I'm definitely not using any VPN services there

(Google sends the message in part as a warning and in part to explain that no, your password wasn't wrong, they just don't think it was actually you.) This was presumably not you, so change your password immediately.
