You are claiming that AirBnB has illegally accessed your email account without providing any proof whatsoever. Unless you have supporting evidence that AirBnB is to blame, then you are mostly likely making a false claim here on HN. This is simply defamation. Occam's Razor (and common sense) suggests the most likely culprit is the one who is profiting from illegally accessing your email account, namely the host you are trying to get a refund from and get suspended on AirBnB for false advertising (not-as-described policy violations). As for what you should do, the first thing should be obvious; change the password on your gmail account, and fully scan all of your systems for malware (including you phone if it has been used to access your gmail account). Next, call AirBnB directly and explain what has happened _without_ falsely accusing them of illegally accessing your email account. The only reason why I have not flagged this submission is it would most likely make the submission "[dead]" (invisible) and the stated policy for "bad news" on HN about YC-funded companies is to let it stand. (enable the "show dead" setting in your HN user profile if you want to see all the spam submissions)
