Someone tried to hack my mail account ?

[jambola2]

I had the same password for my mail as this forums.
I changed the forum password , but ignored changing my mail password , who would go there.
Apparently , my mail is visible on my profile.
Yesterday I got 3 suspicious , attempted logins to my account.
Google luckily blocked it. It was done from a VPN ( 3 logins from around the world in half an hour )
I changed my password , but just realised the seriousness.
It is not very likely that your forum password will matter on any other forums , but if you use it for your mail ID , you are going to have a bad time.

News: Change your forum password

On the top of every page.

Keep all your accounts with different passwords on all websites (or services). Make sure all your passwords are long (16 characters or more, not a word, numbers, letters, symbols), and all the usual stuff.

Just make sure you don't have the same password as any other account you created then your safe

The forum user accounts and passwords have not been widely reported to be compromised in a way consistent with employment of a forum data breach, I would look elsewhere for the source. Can you tell from logs if they actually had your password?

[jambola2]

Yeah , they had my password , but google apparently blocks a log in if you are actively logged in already.
It was two attempts from China and one from USA ( obvious VPN )

I use and suggest a PW manager. Each account everywhere gets a new random PW of 16 charters.

Well, I can at least suspect that the attackers were able to read (unencrypted) private messages, since some coins moved from one address to another. The private key was probably extracted from the PMs.

Next time, must use encryption.

My password is moderately long , 11 characters , has no words and has a near equal distribution of letters , numbers and capitals.
Does not seem like it would be easy to brute-force open.

You were sending / storing private keys in PM? That is not a good idea.

Yeah, my mistake. I should have required them to use GPG. They were buying the key to sign messages on it, because I bought some chips using that particular key. The problem was some coins were then sent there. Then got spent away.

Fortunately, the amount was small enough.

Thats why I never had same password for every account...
