Hello! I am concerned about a cyber security issue regarding my Gmail account. A hacker gained access to my account at 7:05 am on 2/11/[redacted] without needing a verification code. They then used my Gmail to receive my Chase bank verification code and apply for credit and debit cards. Interestingly, when checking Gmail logging history, I noticed several anomalies: 1. The hacker accessed my account from my Windows 10 laptop, which was turned off at the time. Does this mean they faked my machine's identity? 2. The hacker used a VPN to change their IP address to one very close to mine. Additionally, they used a different version of Google Chrome than me, yet I did not receive any verification code requests. This leads me to believe that a combination of a replicated machine, similar IP, and different browser version triggered the lack of verification code. I also observed that when contacting Chase bank, the hacker was identified as a new device, triggering a verification code request. They managed to retrieve the code by using information from my Gmail. It seems that the replicated machine, similar IP, and different browser version all played a role in this triggering of verification codes. I would appreciate any assistance in addressing this issue. Thank you.

Hello, I am experiencing an ongoing issue with recovering access to my two Gmail accounts - [redacted] and [redacted] (or [redacted], unsure due to time passed). The problem arises as I can only recall 1 or possibly 2 past passwords for these accounts. When attempting to log into [redacted], a verification code is sent to [redacted], an account I cannot access. Resetting the password for [redacted] leads to the verification code being sent to [redacted], thus locking me out. These accounts were once linked to my former smartphone, which I no longer possess. Moreover, locking myself out of these accounts has also resulted in losing access to my former Facebook account, leading me to create a new one approximately 3 years ago. Recovering these accounts has become more pressing due to the essential emails stored within for personal and work-related purposes. Could you please assist me in resolving this matter? I am willing to provide any necessary verification to confirm my ownership of these accounts. Although I understand you are not Gmail support, could you guide me to a legitimate customer service portal or contact so that these issues can be addressed? It is disappointing that dedicated assistance seems unavailable. Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Filip

Dear Gmail, I have a primary account at [redacted] Recently, I created a new account, [redacted] Unfortunately, the passwords got mixed up because my mobile devices are synced. When trying to access my main account, [redacted], I receive an incorrect password message and never get the confirmation code on my phone. I suspect it may be going to an old phone number. I would like to temporarily disable phone confirmation and only use the recovery email [redacted] for both accounts to facilitate account recovery. My current confirmation numbers are +[redacted]4 and +[redacted][redacted]; any other numbers are outdated. Hoping to regain access to my emails, Phillipa

Issue with Google Account Recovery Hello, I encountered difficulty signing into my Google account after resetting my Infinix Hot 10 phone. Despite attempting the recovery process, I was unsuccessful. I had previously enabled two-factor authentication and stored a backup code. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate the code when needed. Google sent me a link to access my Gmail account. However, within the account, I couldn't authorize the login. When trying to sign in using an alternative method, I received a message stating that my ownership couldn't be verified. To address this issue, I am considering creating a new account to contact Google support. My current Google account holds significant digital assets, adding to my frustration. I am willing to provide any additional information needed for assistance. Regards, [redacted]

This week, my Google account was hacked. I filled out a form on Google detailing the incident but have not received any response or the account recovery forms. The hacker changed the phone number on my account and signed me out of the Google Authenticator app on my phone. Despite my attempts to submit an account recovery request, I keep receiving an error message saying, "Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you." I am unsure of what steps to take as I have a lot of vital information stored in that email account. It was alarming to see that the password was changed 9 hours prior when I logged in at 3 pm, indicating the intrusion happened around 6 am, a time when I was not using my computer or checking my email. I am considering reaching out on Twitter to see if I can get assistance from Google or any relevant team. Thank you.

My phone was stolen, factory reset, and now I can't access my Google account. The 2-step verification screen is asking for a code from my recovery email, which I can't access, and the linked phone number is outdated. The recognized device is the stolen phone that got reset, and I can't receive the code. I desperately need to recover my email as it has vital information and all my synced photos. I can't find an option to email Google for help. I had to create a new email to reach out to them. How can I contact Google or Gmail for assistance with this issue?

In [redacted]/[redacted], I created a second PS4 account with the email [redacted] and have been using it regularly. Now, I am unable to remember the password needed to change my PS4 name from Official_Worm to my desired one. Google's verification process is asking personal questions I can't answer. I tried all passwords I use, but none seem to match. I can access my other emails, [redacted] and [redacted], but I need access to [redacted] for my second PS4 account. Losing access to this account would mean losing everything on it. Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I accidentally damaged my phone in the wash about three weeks ago, and unfortunately, all my passwords were stored on it. Consequently, I've been locked out of my Gmail account because I can't recall the password. To complicate matters, I switched phone carriers, and my phone number has changed. The old number is now disconnected, making it impossible for me to receive any verification codes. I need help verifying that the account belongs to me. My name is Diana Narvaez. My old number was [redacted], and my new number is [redacted]. My email is [redacted] My date of birth is November 29, [redacted], and my maiden name is Rios. I graduated from Mercedes High School in [redacted] and grew up in Mercedes, Texas. Currently, I reside in Pharr, Texas, which is approximately 20 miles west of Mercedes.

I recently had my computer repaired, which led to the data being erased, and now I am having trouble accessing my second gmail account, [redacted] When I try to log in, it asks to send a verification code to my old school email, [redacted], which no longer exists. I've tried all the options provided by Google, but it still won't verify my identity. This email is essential for my job, and I am willing to provide any necessary proof of ownership. I suggest removing the old school email and adding my phone number, [redacted] [redacted] [redacted], as an alternative for receiving the verification code. I believe the most recent email in the account is from Discord, which could serve as additional proof. Your prompt assistance in recovering this account would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I am Antonella De Stefano and I need to report that my email address, [redacted], has been compromised. The individual who gained unauthorized access to my account has altered the recovery options, making it impossible for me to reset my password.

You have not come back with a solution yet. I understand you must be overwhelmed. Here is the reference number: [3-[redacted][redacted]]. My Adsense account is linked to [redacted], but I forgot the password. The recovery email is [redacted], but it's disabled and I can't receive emails. Can you send the recovery code to [redacted] instead? This email is connected to my phone number, and I want to link it to Adsense. Please consider this situation as your system doesn't address this case. I need to access [redacted], cancel the Adsense connected to it, and link it to [redacted], my new preferred email. I would appreciate it if you could verify me through a call or send the verification code to [redacted] I am planning to recover my [redacted] soon, once I sort out my ID and credit card issues. Please assist me in resolving this matter. Thank you.

My email has been hacked, and I am aware of who might have done it and why. The hacker changed my information, password, and accessed my account using a mobile phone. It seems that they used my roommate's phone, which was also hacked, to conceal their identity and gain access. I need assistance in resolving this issue promptly. My name is David A., and you can reach me at [redacted]. The individual who hacked my roommate to steal their information and use it as a cover to access my account is Natasha M. from T-Mobile. She seems to have used this method to unlawfully access my bank account and my email, [redacted]

Hello, I recently set up a throwaway email for my little cousin who was staying with me temporarily. She wanted to take the Harry Potter House sorting quiz, so I quickly created the email without adding any account recovery information, thinking it was just for one-time use. As a writer facing a creative block with my current story, I switched to using Google Docs on that same throwaway email account to see if a change of environment would help me overcome the block. Surprisingly, it did, and I managed to write over [redacted] words in a Google Doc linked to that account. This morning, I inadvertently signed out of the account and now cannot recall the password. Since I never set up any account recovery details, I receive an error message stating "Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you" when trying the "forgot password" option. I understand the lack of recovery information makes it challenging to verify ownership, but any assistance in recovering access to the account would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Hello, I'm seeking assistance to secure my Google account. Recently, I received a notification informing me that a device accessed my account.

However, I'm concerned about ensuring this device is completely disconnected from my account and want to know the extent of data and activities it accessed before the password change. Any assistance in verifying this situation would bring me peace of mind. Thank you for your help in advance. My email address is [redacted], and the device in question is a vivo [redacted]. If further details are required, please feel free to ask. Have a great day.

Yesterday, after reinstalling Windows, I tried to log into my email [redacted] on Google Chrome. I can't remember exactly whether I forgot the password or recovered it through my phone. When I entered the password on my computer, it asked for a verification code to be sent to my mobile phone. However, I realized that the phone number linked to this email hasn't been in use for over 8 years. I tried to update the phone number using the mobile app and got logged out of my email. Please help me regain access to my email. No one else has used this email, and the linked phone number is [redacted]. I currently use a One Plus 9 Pro, previously a Meizu 16th, and I have logged into this email from these phones. If possible, please link the email [redacted] as an additional recovery email.

During the summer of [redacted], my account was hacked, and I have been unable to access it since then, specifically for Genshin Impact. Despite numerous attempts to reset my password, the hacker, who is actively using the account, has caused Google to cancel my reset requests. Recently, I discovered they enabled 2-Step Verification, further complicating my recovery efforts. The hacker altered the email address and likely the phone number associated with the account as well. I have been diligently trying to regain access to this vital account for months now. Prompt action is necessary before the situation escalates and they potentially change my game login details too. Please assist me in recovering my hacked email account at [redacted]
