So I just received a notification that someone is logging into my google account any steps I need to take other than change my password?  I thought I had 2 step on but it was off so I also turned that on also.

My email is not listed many places so be on the look out. Maybe 4 locations it was not listed on the pwned site so not sure what is going on.

edit: It is not the email I use for this site just looking at what else needs to be done.

Could it have been through a VPN you use or with an old website when IPs did not always fit the country range?

If you have a sim card on another carrier or an unsmashed old phone that could have been compromised as the first step in this hack along with any associated accounts.  Check any related accounts in order of unsecured money: bitcoin etc, brokerage, credit cards, bank accounts, other credit.

That account was mostly used for game login. I saw that support page after I changed my password but before I posted here. I guess I need to remember to change all of my passwords even if nothing is wrong. The only link between main account and this account is email recovery.  I didn't know if it should be reported to someone like ic3.gov which is the FBI internet crime thing.

I guess this could just be a service announcement to check https://myaccount.google.com/security to see what is listed in "Your devices".

Thankfully Google has a soft 2 step verification and I was at least notified. I guess the good thing is that I will continue to make sure family members have 2 step verification on. I will even push it on the non tech people. Hopefully they won't run into many issues like leaving their phone somewhere else but trying to login on a new device. 

I was a little surprised that google does not have this turned on by default I have ran across some accounts that are only used for android phones not have 2 step on by default. By turning it on it should not hurt those people to much. 

Any ways Merry Christmas

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
