Help, I think I have someone hacking my computer

Post by Cavazos »

*Oops, typo on title. It's "I think I have someone". Sorry.

Hey,

I wasn't sure where to turn too. I figure this gamers forum is the best because we are the ones who play the most and I always encounter very smart individuals that play PR who know a lot about computers.

I think i'm being tracked or hacked. The reason I say this is because in Gmail I keep getting the red alert messages that tell me a warning that my email is being logged in from another location. In this case from Texas while I live in Florida.

I already changed my password several times. I have not shared my recent passwords with anyone else. Yet I got the message again that says i've been accessed from Texas two days ago:
Access Type [ ? ]
(Browser, mobile, POP3, etc.) Location (IP address) [ ? ] Date/Time
(Displayed in your time zone)
Unknown United States (TX) (64.134.151.252) Sep 12
Unknown United States (TX) (64.134.144.167) Sep 17 (2 days ago)
I did a search on the first IP and it appears to be a [email protected] seen here:
IRC Log for #jython on irc.freenode.net, collected by JythonLogBot

Since it was accessed again, I think he either has access to my computer again as I don't think there is anyway he could have gotten the password without doing so.. so i'm looking for advice. I'm not sure what to do except cut my computer from the internet and delete everything in my email or even buy a new computer! Please help.

I also suspect it has something to do with me logging in through my iPhone e-mail automatically at work, and perhaps the router is misinterepted as being in Texas??

You sure it's not your Iphone?

Switch of the function on it and see if it still happens?

Thanks. I figure it is secured since I always have my phone with me.
