    Friends,
    Google reported that WebNX IP 216.18.212.218 accessed my Gmails. It may have accessed my other emails I have no clue. I have reported it to webnx but what you guys advise? I login to these accounts through trillian is that what you think can leak passwords? I don't use weak passwords they are quite strong. Pls. advise and be careful about the IP. TIA

    Man I had some IPs logged in on my GMail this week too.

    After Whoising it turned out it was Amazon, and I have no accounts with amazon, and even if I had, wouldn't the privacy policy of their company deny such behaviour?

    Internet is going crazy!

    Did you login to some sort of contact finder using Gmail? (the kind that searches your address book)

    No I didn't. I had my PC running for more than 24 hrs and ESET started giving errors(which was fixed my restarting later) But I didn't turn the PC off because it was in the middle of download. During that time a spyware installed, it may have accessed trillian passwords. Emails only on trillian were accessed. GMail informs this but not yahoo & MSN doesn't care I suppose.

    Change your password immediately and report abuse to WEBNX, they will warn the user and take appropriate action.

    Yes, Luckily I was able to login
    Lol
    Changed password guys, Made it stronger further, reported to WebNX they say they have taken the action.
    But I am wondering how could he got the access to my 3 gmails and may be to yahoos & MSNs, If he/she couldn't get the password then he must be able to access my desktop and so double clicked on trillian to get into inboxes of different emails. Do you think trillian is not safe? What else should I use for multiple logins?

    First thing that you can do is to change your password immediately. And everytime you login to your account from other places, don't forget to log out.
