Comment on Google account disabled for 6+ days. Some thoughts

Comments

1) He goes on about how secure his password is, but then admits that someone got into his secondary email account. His secondary account should be just as secure. This calls to doubt his security savvy.

2) "loose" instead of "lose" -- always a bad sign

No one got into my backup email.

My backup email received some "password reset instructions" emails for my main google account. - eg someone clicked on [forgot my password] on google, and entered my account name.

Sorry if that wasn't crystal clear.

Just as a data point, I get those all the time. I get tons of legit e-mail for other people too - I don't get it! :)
