Someone tried to get access into my account but failed (but tried)

I've had that happen to my Gmail, except the person managed to guess the password. They are located in Finland.

I use a forum (not this one) and apparently someone/something in Turkey tried to log into it (?).

Often these attempts are for misguided fun.

I though you cannot trace the IP address to its location due to privacy reasons

Some forums (similar to facebook) have the add on which allows people to check their login history and locations.

But the IP's from within the UK are blocked and only show locations in London

My bad then. For Facebook they normally just show a general location, for example if someone logged in from Woking, it'll just say Woking.

You can't of had a very good password if someone guessed it.

They managed to guess it??? :

I got an email saying that a new device mananged to log onto my account so probably.

Holy crap, it wasn't that they guessed your password, they knew it

To complicate the matter even more, I got a phone call on the same day from a really weird number and they were telling me my.name and address and everything and asked me to confirm if it was all correct I said no ofc

If someone steals my identity and kills me pls tell my parents I love them

That must have been scary. No problem, but would you tell us your name and address and everything they asked you so that we could get your message to your mum

My password wasn't even an actual word so I reckon it was spyware or something that was installed in my phone
It's really weird actually, like all my social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter) were hacked at the same time but from different locations, and they all had different passwords.
