This is really weird and I'm failing to find it an explanation. Possible I'm paranoid and it's a series of coincidences, but with the possibility of infection I'd like to come to somebody that clearly knows better than me.

Useful facts:
  • I do have a VPN and I didn't have it active when this occured
  • Windows and software updates up to date.
  • Connected to a work network with shared devices OFF (PC not visible for others)
As for the Twitter and Facebook mentioned issue (below, on symptoms) I checked the accesses to my account after the blocking, but found nothing worth worrying, only my accesses.

Hello,

I do not see signs of infection in your logs.
To be expected. Thanks for the assistance though.

For those interested in this case, I have already figured it out on my own. There has been a network attack or IP leak on the office. We all share the same IP and I found it was compromised (used for spam emailing), therefore why Google detected unusual traffic on our IP and social networks were blocking our accounts.

Solution: rebooted and resetted routers, flushed DNS and ask ISP for an IP change. We need more restrictive policies regarding our employees lel.

See you soon!
