Hi Everyone! I have an unusual problem with gmail and would like your input on this.
A few months ago one of my gmail accounts informed me that an IP from out of the country was logging into my account. I immediately changed my password and scanned my computer with MS Security Essentials, Panda Cloud, and Trend Micro. I forgot if I found anything back then, but my computer seems fine from all those scanners now. Anyway, I also turned on the feature where I get a text with a code every time someone tries to log into my account. So, there's no way they could access it without my phone.
Last night I received a "Google account recovery" email. On that email listed 3 of my other gmail accounts that I assume someone is requesting a password recovery for. I can't read it because it's a Google email in chinese for some reason. Here's my questions regarding that issue:
Your input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Last night I received a "Google account recovery" email. On that email listed 3 of my other gmail accounts that I assume someone is requesting a password recovery for. I can't read it because it's a Google email in chinese for some reason. Here's my questions regarding that issue:
- How did someone know about my 3 other accounts? I assume perhaps I have a keylogger or trojan and they found out that way. But...
- I did not change the passwords for those other accounts, so why request for a password recovery if they already have my password via the keylogger? Unless it wasn't a keylogger.
- I logged into those other accounts and didn't notice any unusual IP activity from the log. I'm also in the process of scanning my computer again, but I just scanned last week and there was nothing.
- I don't use wifi often but I do use a wireless 3G card. I only log in through https sites, but would someone still be able to see me type my username through a wirelsss? And perhaps an excrypted password? That's why they have my account name but not my password?
- This is the first time I received a Password Recovery from google that contained 3 accounts in the same email. Usually it's just 1 account and a specialized link. This one didn't have a specialized link, just the 3 accounts with a link to general account info. I'm sure it's an official Google email too. Again, it's in chinese so I can't read it.
Your input would be appreciated. Thank you!
