Comment on Gmail security warnings for suspected state-sponsored attacks

Comments

Live from the scene: my partner just found that she wasn't able to log in to her Gmail account because her password was suddenly invalid. Luckily she was able to reset it quickly and regain control of the account. When she checked the recent activity, though, it showed that all logins in the past 12 hours came from her IP.

Sounds like a setup to a thriller movie, but the relevance to the article is lost on me. Am I just missing something?

Her account was affected this morning by the attack reported in the article.

So she saw the alert described in the article? You didn't really mention that.

You didn't read the article. It's about a security feature being added, not a specific attack.
