[QUOTE="tech_eng, post: 997362, member: 89272"] I opened a SurfShark VPN connection (US Server) to visit a couple of sites and forgot to turn it off, and used the PC for few hours at night, the next morning I got a warning from Google that my government backed attacked might be trying to steal my password (check attached screenshot). I am more sure that google detected the vpn and access to my account from a different country, that's the reason. did this happen to anybody else? I am not an important person to have the government after me (not in politics/not a journalist), I already have 2 factor authentication activated, I changed the password anyway, and the login locations doesn't show any suspected data, just that access to google from USA during the vpn connection.
