Someome is trying to access my steam and gmail account! :O

[Recon97]

For the past 2 days I have been getting notifications from steam and gmail that someone from united States tried to access my account.Luckily I have 2 step verification on gmail which means that the hacker won't be able to access both of accounts since steam is linked to my gmail. (Fuck me to the eternity)If so the hacker tried to access my gmail through Linux. What should I do to stop it?

Change your password and add extra symbols and numbers

[Shally]

Ugh here we go. Linux is a operating system, not some hackware.

[LukaP]

change your password. make sure you have 2/3 step verification on and if possible, report it to google/valve

[Nexxus]

change the PWs to be secure as fuck..not much else you can do.

[JoeCoke]

Change all of your passwords. It's less likely a hacker and more likely some kid who got lucky guessing passwords.

Lol. The way you refer to Linux amuses me

No offense intended but it reminds me of an old person referring to the Internet.

There's nothing you can really do aside from have a good password and use the 2 step authentication. Maybe run a virus scan on your computer to make sure there isn't a key logger or anything installed

Just ensure you have all the security features that those accounts offer (such as two-step), change your password on those accounts and i'd also recomend changing your email to something like this: Wf$f2#AHGu&$NQQ89@

EDIT: Use the maximum character length allowed, use LastPass to store them (great password manager)

People also use windows to hack, whats your point on the linux thing?...

The best you can do is change passwords to even more difficult ones and keep the 2 step authentication.

Linux is literally decades old, its likely older then you.

3 step

i only know of 2

[Guest Kloaked]

Actually, you should run a virus scan on your system before you change any passwords.

Well, linux is a tiny bit older than 3 or 4 months.

More likely a keylogger if they are going after gmail and steam. In that case password strength means nothing. Run malware scans before changing all your passwords.

Good point.

Yes and use a REAL anti virus not norton or some crap.

Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, Bitdefender, Roguekiller, adwcleaner to name a few are great anti malware programs.

3 step

Well 1 step is password. 2 step is for example a security question along with a password. 3 step is a confirmation code sent to your phone number or something like that

Damn that sucks. Best of luck.

3 step

The 3 steps of authentication that can exist are:

• Something you know (a password)
• Something you have (sms authentication etc)
• Something you are (biometrics)

Obviously the 3rd one isn't used very much though, and isn't reasonable here either.

If you have a security question, an attacker can find out the answer just as easily as they can your password (keylogger/hacked another site/etc)
