Logged into my google account saw this and changed my password.

Apparently someone from ukraine tried to log into my gmail account.

Yeah some person from china did this to me last year I would change all passwords for everything with a similar password scheme as the attacker tried many many accounts but I saved it mostly in time. Don't freak out though as they can't break in too easily into a google account as long as you have a decently strong password.

Also, I would suggest watching the LTT video on password security https://youtu.be/t8SQo3R7qeU.
