Yesterday, I needed to print out a document. I went to the library and accessed my Google. Found what I needed, printed it, and closed out. Last night, my phone told me that someone signed into my Google account from a town in Russia. This morning, I found the same message on my laptop. I changed the password immediately. I was only online at the library for a few minutes. In that short time, someone in Russia stole my password. Be careful if you use a library or other public computer. You never know who is lurking around. Have you ever been hacked? What happened?

Oh my goodness that is crazy! I never had that problem when I went to a library. Geez! I haven't gotten hacked on anything thankfully.

I have printed stuff out in the library before. This is the first time this ever happened.

I never use my passwords from a public place, it's too dangerous.

I am glad that you caught it. There are so many hazards out there, you can be hacked and not realize it.

We haven't been hacked that we know of. We don't use public computers, haven't had a need to. Hope everything stays well for you and your accounts.
