[THAIPHUKET]

Look at the attachment, it says it all

[HenryB]

He probably want to look at you electric bill

Change your password immediately.

I had a friend who lost a large sum of money recently after his email account was hacked. If someone is reading your emails, imagine the personal information they can obtain from you.

Not only that, they then can contact "your" contacts.

As said immediate change to a very secure password. If no ex or family issues would also check for identity theft.

[Jingthing]

Please don't mock me for not knowing, but how can you check for that?

[KhunBENQ]

Some background information would help.

It does not "say it all".

What kind of report is it, generated by what?

180.183.206.42 is supposed to be from Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, a 3BB address.

Your forum name does not sound like Chiang Mai.

But still I have a strong suspicion that it is or was your IP.

The geolocation results for private IPs are often way off.

I am supposed to be in Pathum Thani Thanyaburi about 400 km from my real location.

Another site suspects me in Bangkok (Lak Si). Also about 400 km off.

107.170.166.118. belongs to Digital Ocean Inc, New York.

A cloud computing provider, Can be everything like your email as such.

Same for 192.241.177.188 and 192.241.173.138.

This thread feels like the hot air from outside.

Welcome to the unknowing

[lopburi3]

Are you using a VPN? Those are US proxy servers NYC and Washington State. So may well be someone here in Thailand if not you.

[Pib]

OP, are you using a VPN service? Like a VPN service that gives a U.S. IP address?

[55Jay]

Would be amusing if the specific location turned out to be in Pennsylvania.

KhunBenQ

compliment for your sleuthing abilities, would't want to be your enemy

the warning jumped all of sudden up when I was opening Gmail with Chrome browser/ WIndows 10

My Pen name Thai-Phuket is misleading, since 6 years living in CM near City Hall

I do use VNP not sure it is a true VNP service or a browser extension = BROWSEC

[lopburi3]

If you use a VPN it was likely just you using it during those periods?

[THAIPHUKET]

I installed BROSEC only recently and my guess is its always on, at least I don't do anything

But that is probably the answer

However, it brings up an essential question= How can one trust any VPN, paid or unpaid

you do a complete striptease of all your--electronic--- private parts.

This is only applicable for a gmail account.

Ding ding ding! We got a winner.

Browsec is indeed a VPN service. What it does is makes your browser traffic go through one of their server located in another country than the one you are (for various purposes).

You probably used your Gmail while this extension was active, which meant that from Gmail point of view you were accessing from that Browsec server in the US.

[KhunBENQ]

Browsec is indeed a VPN service.

Also called Browsec VPN

Hot air as suspected.

[THAIPHUKET]

Thanks all for your input. Better question Hot Air than be sorry

Still leaves open the question of assumed VPN security, paid or unpaid, samesame

With Chrome or any other established browser it is relatively safe to assume that your passwords, etc are not being skimmed.

Why would you assume from anonymous VPN servers? What do you do to put your mind at ease?

If you're using GMAIL, in the bottom right is the word 'Details'. Click on it and you get a pop-up like in the OP.

How a little detail info can make a difference

Someone from Island just read my mail

(just jumped to Island and back with the VPN)

Absolutely normal effect when using "anonymizers"/VPNs etc.

I remember similar warnings from Yahoo or so.

To the systems it looks suspect when you use a mail system from Thailand and five minutes later seemingly from round the globe.

If you switch to using a different OS you'll get an alert too.
