If hackers can easily maneuver their way into the accounts of top US officials who for
sure are being protected with high levels of security by the NSA... how easy do
you think it is for them to get into yours?
Hacking
and cyber-criminal these days will do anything to get some money out of
unsuspecting prey… And that prey could unfortunately be you.
That
is why you must take some precautionary measures in preventing such from
happening to you. Email hijacking is one of them.
I’m
going to show you how to know if someone has currently logged in to your
account, OR using your account Or your gmail has been compromised from any location worldwide.
1.
Go to the gmail homepage using a computer. Not on your smartphone, but on your computer.
2.
Login to your gmail account using your username and password.
3.
Once you’re logged in, scroll down to the bottom of the page on your screen.
4.
On the right part of the screen at the bottom, look for the part that says
“Last Account Activity”. Click on that part.
5.
Under “Last Account Activity”,
you’ll see a list of the last 10 times your account, indicating the IP address
of the computer or device as well as the where you accessed it from.
If
any of the IP addresses seem unfamiliar or suspicious, change your password
immediately— just to be on a safer side.
Unfortunately,
this features is only available to gmail accounts only. Other email providers like Yahoo, etc are still struggling up to meet the standards.
