Question

Galaxy S5 Hacked?

Mar 26, 2015 10:31AM PDT

Hey guys,

New to the community- having some issues.

About 3 weeks ago I got messages from friends saying that they are getting emails from me with weird links in the body.

It obviously wasn't me...

I then went onto my Macbook pro and signed into google to find that my account was being used by three other devices in Chicago.

2 laptops and 1 samsung phone.

I have now changed my passwords 3-4 times, deleted chrome (what they used to sign in with) AND enabled extra security...

I don't think I can post the screenshot I took of the "recently logged in" page, but I'm not seeing the computers anymore but the damn phone (in chicago) signed in literally a half hour AFTER I changed my password earlier this afternoon.

Please help!

Thank you.

Next time, please make a complicated password that only YOU can remember. I should also make difficult passwords, but luckily no one has hacked into my accounts yet. Fingers crossed!!
