Do you suspect that your
email account is under attack? Do you want to maintain total security of
your email account and
make it 100% hack proof?
Well, Some times our
email account might have
got hacked and we may
not be aware of that. We
may believe that our
email account is safe, but
in reality our private and
confidential information
may be falling into the
hands of a third person.

Here are
some signs of unauthorized
activity on an email
account.
1. Your new emails are
marked as Read even if
youve not read them.
2. Your emails are moved
to Trash or even
permanently deleted
without your notice.
3. Your emails are being
forwarded to a third party
email address (check your
settings->forwarding).

4. Your secondary email
address is changed.
If you come across any of
the above activities on
your email account, then
it is a clear indication that
your email account is
hacked.

Additional Security
Features in Gmail to
ensure the Safety of
your Account
Gmail provides an
additional security feature
to protect your email
account through the
means of IP address
logging. That is, Gmail
records your IP address
every time you login to
your Gmail account. So, if
a third party gets access
to your account then even
his/her IP is also recorded.
To see a list of recorded
IP address, scroll down to
the bottom of your Gmail
account

You can see that Gmail
shows the IP address of
last login (last account
activity). You can click on
Details to see the IP
address of your last 5
activities. If you find that
the IP listed in the logs
doesn t belong to you,
then you can suspect
unauthorized activity.
