[QUOTE="Jack, post: 109270, member: 1"] Interesting.....I have a Yahoo account, but I don't use it anymore.... Now, I'm using a Gmail account, and awhile ago, I got an email from Google that looked like this one: [img]http://davidvielmetter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/gmail_we_prevented_a_recent_suspicious_login_attempt_from_united_states.png[/img] Needless to say that it was enough to scare me..... The next thing that I did was to change my password and scan for malware, as at I thought I might have a Zbot infection or something like that (paranoid here...) :) The scan results came clean, and in the next few hours I have tried to find away to prevent this....... The solution? - [b]2-step verification[/b] [url=http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180744]2-step verification on Gmail[/url] is awesome and if you are using Gmail, I highly recommend that you enable this feature! How it works? When I login, I get a SMS from Google with a random number that I have to enter into a field...... I do get an option to "Trust this computer"... so I don't have to enter it every time... It's just an awesome feature! [media=youtube]zMabEyrtPRg[/media] So to get back on the subject, this log provided from Yahoo it's a good feature, however if you are a YMail user, I would recommend that you enable 2-step verification to really secure your account, instead of just checking some logs. Preventing is always better than fixing!! On a separate note, Google also offers a log for your authentications , and you can find it in the lower right part of your screen. [/QUOTE]
