Gmail hacked.

Stiletto72

I just found out that my Gmail account has been hacked. I tried to access it on my phone and I got a message saying that my account had been disabled. I tried it on my PC and got the same message but managed to reactivate it with a secondary e-mail account.
The recently used devices option shows that it's been accessed in Buncrana County Donegal, the USA and Nairobi, Kenya in the past 24 hours. Needless to say I have been to none of these locations. The Buncrana location has an IP address of 86.40.169.206. Is there any way of tracing this IP address?

Probably somebody with an eir DSL line

C:\Users\admin>ping -a 86.40.169.206

But you'd need the guards to ask eir for more details AFAIK, and I doubt they'd be bothered.

Thanks Bonzo.
I know somebody in Eir so I may ask to see if they can assist.

eir won't be able to help you directly for data protection and other legal reasons.

Presumably you have changed your password. If not DO SO NOW.

Next turn on Two Step Verification and use Google Authenticator App on a smart phone as the second factor (SMS messages are not as secure as the App).

If no fraud or criminal activity has occurred as a result of your account being compromised, then I doubt the guards will be too bothered by it.

Yes, password changed and I set up two step verification. I've taken the opportunity to change every password for every application, just in case.
Thanks for your response.

That's good. I wish others would be as thorough.

Cheers.
I'm actually quite annoyed at this. I've very careful with passwords and run checks on my home PC every day or two. Rotten little scrotes.
