Elusive technical support
I have been using Google Mail for a long time and recommend it to everyone. Or recommended: today's incident made me wonder if I was doing the right thing. I still think that in terms of the convenience of the Gmail interface is the best, but this is not the only factor to choose from.
So that's what happened. First, a couple of days ago, I received an SMS and a letter to this very Google Mail, they had a code to reset the password. I, of course, did not order it. I decided that, probably, someone was sealed up, although it would be rather unlikely: I have the address of the form surname.name@gmail.com, and the surname with the name is not the most common. In general, I was surprised, but I came to the conclusion that this can be ignored, deleted messages and scored.
Today, strange letters fell on me:
')
First, they were from Chinese domains. Secondly, with Chinese hieroglyphs inside. Thirdly, two of them were shitters from Mailer Daemon and looked as if I was trying to send something to them. In the body of the letter, I allegedly found my message, which also looked rather strange:
Moreover, it turns out that such letters were sent! To the Chinese address, with one letter in the subject of the letter and an empty body. Although I, of course, did not send such people and generally slept peacefully at this time.
Poparanoiv, I changed my password and decided to contact technical support with the question "What was it?". But not everything is so simple: I have not found a single way to do this. Yes, there is a forum. And there is a handbook with faq. But where to complain about “my box was hacked” is unknown.
And yes: I didn’t have the easiest password, with numbers, letters and special characters, I don’t have this candle anywhere especially - I use another one for registrations. Why did he surrender to some Chinese? I don’t know. So I do not even know now whether it is worth continuing to use gmyl, or whether it is worth going somewhere far from sin.
