this has happened to me two times in as many weeks. the first time i tracked the guys ip address and found his exact location. i changed my status on gmail to “i know you are in vienna virginia, i know where your house is, i know what you ate for breakfast. so kindly, gtfo.” within seconds he was signed off and my friends and i were dying of laughter. just tonight it happened again. i tracked the ip and it happened to be located in my home town. so once again i changed my status again. they saw this and instantly signed off. i have decided to not change my password just for the sheer joy of messing with these people. ahhh the fun

Thanks for the article. I worry about hackers because I have had it happen before. I am glad that I have at least something I can use to check and see if it has happened again.

I agree, when someone hacks into your account your IP is the last thing you would worry about. FYI, getting someone’s IP address is a lot easier then you might think it is. All it takes is additional two lines of code, one for geting the IP and other for storing it into a text file.

Another advantage to this, if you run IMAP through something like Thunderbird at home, is it logs your IP in case it dynamically changes. I’d prefer this over running a no-ip.biz program, for example, for those dynamic dns services.

If you think your account is compromised, first thing is to check your filters, then change your password. Some attacks include but are not limited to setting up filters like forwarding to the hacker’s email, and skipping inbox for all emails containing the word “password” or “account”.

Most of the time hackers use social engineering or Google to hack into Internet accounts.

This is a stupid line of reasoning, Hmm – if your email’s been hacked, chances are the piece of information that someone might obtain that you’d care about LEAST is your IP. And an IP’s just an IP, it’s not personal identification.
