[quote:Louis in Richmond:MV80NDYyNzQ0XzgxMjYzMzIzX0JERjdCN0Q3] [quote:darkwolf007:MV80NDYyNzQ0XzgxMjYzMjg0X0Q4QkVBMEM5] [quote:kdog82:MV80NDYyNzQ0XzVGN0I2Q0Y0] I kept getting this warning and ignored it. Until I was notified someone tried to access my gmail account Stay safe . [/quote] Yep, OP. This has happened to me multiple times over the years. There is literally nothing you can ever do about this stuff with any tech company but keep changing your password/passphrase. The best you can do is use a password/passphrase generating program. Only never use a password/phrase managing program. Keep changing your password/phrase daily. Once you are inevitably locked out of your account(s), make new ones and repeat... for the duration of your miserable online life. Alot of people just do not understand why these mind bogglingly vast data breaches keep happening too. One is due to human error. Two is due to stolen work laptops and/or other work related items that have customers' personal data on them. Three is the IT team for the tech company in question do not use strong enough ITSec... assuming they have been using ITSec stuff in the first place. Within number three this includes the highest and best encryption server side methods. However, this does not always equate to an immeasurably terrible IT team. This can be due to corporate forcing the IT team to run on a shoestring budget. https://www.chargebee.com/blog/options-ssl-certificate-cost/ https://comodosslstore.com/resources/how-much-does-an-ssl-certificate-cost/ With this in mind, just remember this is why Trinity needs as many paid users on GLP. Running this site is not cheap. Especially on the levels of reliability Trinity has been successfully running GLP for years now.

If anyone tries to access my Microsoft or Google Accounts I am immediately emailed their IP address and must approve their access. Noone has ever tried to access them. [/quote]
