Apparently someone tried to hack my main email. The one I use for all pokersites and skrill. What should i do?
This is the email i got from gmail:
Hi XXX:

Someone recently used your password to try to log into your Google account xxxxx@gmail.com. This person has used an application, for example an email client or a mobile device.

We have prevented this login to your account if it was a case of hacking. Check the details of the attempted login:

Friday March 7, 2014 17h57 'UTC
IP address: 93.12.203.197 (197.203.12.93.rev.sfr.net)
Location: Tours, France


If you do not recognize this attempt to login, it is possible that someone is trying to access your account. We recommend that you log into your account and you reset the password immediately.

Apparently they tried to log in from France and of course it wasnt me as i have never been in France in my life.

Also, time to beef up your password procedures if you haven't already. Do you have a unique and secure password for every site you use that's important to keep secured? Also, you might want to enable Gmail's two-step verification if it isn't already.

Also have your computer scanned, it won't help to change your password if you have a key-logger on your computer.
get the free version of Malwarebytes and do a scan.

I did change my Gmail password. I also use different passwords for Gmail and all pokersites. How do i enable Gmail's two-step verification?

Good point - password really should be changed from a separate computer until this is done.
