Did I just get account-phished?

Got this email recently...

Everything looks legit so it didn't set off any bells like most phishing attempts do. But...I dunno. Also, the email has an attachment for some reason. I already changed it back...but could the attachment have gotten onto my computer, causing havok?

I received the same email months ago. I dont recall clicking any link from it. But I promptly changed my password and enabled 2 step verification by phone.

I received a notification bar at the top of my browser, then asking me to change the password. When I did, I realized it was for my wife's account. When I told her she said that she recently tried to access her Google+ account on her phone. Looks like Google's got some new security that alerts you when any access is being requested from a source other than your system you set the account on.

I was trying to get your Desura account. I figured you own everything on there.

Google tracks you, and if an account login doesn't look typical from their analysis, they send one of those messages. Helpful I suppose, but I don't like companies knowing my habits that much.
