Unusual activity in email accountsHello, twice in the last fortnight now two of my email accounts have told me that they have been logged into from suspicious areas in the world - google even told me it was the Phillipeans! The passwords were two different ones, and a mixture of upper/lower case and numbers. Can anyone suggest what could be allowing someone to gain access to them? My antivirus says there's nothing bad on my pc - but that's avg free. And i doubt a robot could guess them as it's a mixture of numbers and letters.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers! -

Re: Unusual activity in email accountsI can't immediately offer an explanation (though, do you use the same password as either account for any other service?), but if you've not already done so I'd strongly encourage you to change your passwords.(Original post by KingKong)
