I hope i'm not a target. but Google does not provide me info on that... Which is kinda crappy, if they protect the attacker.. I'm not sure what to think of it, so if there is an attacker, then the attacker has the advantage.
Still, it can be a Google issue.. I just don't know. But I was pretty pissed about it. Now, well, it tells more about Google then about me hehe. I hope this will be fixed soon. I wish Google had at least some kind of direct support line. For stuff like this. Just to be able to get some information at all. Now I still know nothing. Thanks for talking with me but nothing is improving, ant it is still wasting my time. And also your time.. I think google should not just list 'successful logins' but also 'unsuccessful login attempts' At least then I know what is going on in case of an attack (if any?) Google does like to make me work and sell their ads for a below average revenue, and then you need support for something and there is nobody home... That's no way of doing business... But hey, this is how you get to know who you are dealing with. Now I say this, and that might cause a delay to a solution, but people be warned. This just sucks. Oh and, nobody else has access to MY account. I have another account that still wokrs fine And other people can access THEIR accounts from THIS PC without issues. So it is not a hardware error, or caps, it clearly is something on the other side of the line and only with 1 account. Maybe the NSA is after me? :-) Who knows... But even IF it was a malicious PC or user, If it is an attempt that does not originate from my home location then it is not ME. (unless i'm on vacation, but I doubt I would use email when I'm a few days away from it all...) It just doesn't make sense. I'm don't think I am a target. But again, there is no way to verify that. So I hope that when logout I don't have to change my password once again. I now will stay logged in because I don't have time to jump trough hoops 3 times a day I hope everyone with login issues can find this post!
