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

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
