[QUOTE="always_forever, post: 1050403, member: 92363"] Why would it be redirected from a gmail email I've never had (but is my name) to a hotmail email address I've hard for years, though? I don't understand. Even if it was redirected, wouldn't that be clearly reflected just by looking at the email? That's one of the fishy things here with no pun intended ;] I do use 2FA on all accounts and it's worth noting that the hotmail isn't one that's used for sign-in at this time and any associated passwords related to the account have been upgraded numerous times. I imagine it's possible that the Outlook client could be hacked, though, which that IP was also associated with. That particular hotmail email has been involved in a number of leaks over the years and I've been actively phasing it out (I can't wait to delete it as I know Microsoft doesn't recycle them). I'm almost there but I want to fully understand what happened here before I delete it forever. The aforementioned gmail address shows no leaks on haveibeenpwned.com, for what that's worth...which makes me think it's fairly new with all the database breaches these days and over the last few years.
