2 times today . Gmail notified and said they blocked the suspicious attempts and ask me to change my password. I did that and I'm curious if this happened to anyone else. Here's the ip address of the hackers ->-> IP Address: 60.166.253.74

because I don't understand what's happening here. After changing my password as stated in the OP what keeps happening now is my cell phone keeps notifying me that attempts have been made to access my Google account. I never use my phone for e-mail . Is someone trying to hack my phone ? I keep clearing the notification but it keeps coming back also I have had no more alerts on my computer....Digger
