    Default hack attempt on my google account

    Google are pretty good with security, got this today.

    Looks like someone in the states 199.48.243.23 tried to login to my google account.

    I have also had a couple of attempts on my Gmail. I also get them on my Austech account as well.

    I ended up changing my password to one that is so long and random numbers/letters that it took me 2 months to memorise it
