FYI - your l... domain is visable from the Google links.
You might want to strip out the links?

I certainly do, but I don't see where they are. Do you mean I need to click one, and if so which? Or what's the line above it?

Wouldn't mind you removing the 2nd and 3rd letters as wel . Or even the whole post now.If you ignore a force Google verification you should stay safe unless someone else knows your password to verify.
Quite! That's what's so worrying. It didn't even allow time for a genuine verification anyway, unless it was automatic. And the verification link would have had to be available to the transgressor.

As posted to XRaySpex, my domain doesn't seem to be associated with the [link removed by billford] address.

I checked the account that has my domain as it's login. There doesn't seem to be anything amiss. I'll do the check you suggest now ...

I only have the primary address. Where do I see "Awaiting validation"? On the same page as you add alternative addresses?

The Disavow link.

FYI Any of the links with the google.com TLD are safe to click.


EDIT: I see your link to your l... domain/account is still available?
Also perhaps pika... could be just as innocent as you so posting his email address in an open forum might not be the right thing to do?

Lastly, log into gmail and check your login history (details link, bottom right). You can also set it to alert you on suspicious activity.

It isn't a gmail account. I have a few gmail accounts, two recent and the rest virtually never used. Probably from even before I had a domain instead of using ISP mail. Many years ago.

Re the recent ones, neither mentions mydomain in the Account details.

Rolls eyes. (Edit - at what the heck is going on).

I'm logged into the account with mydomain. Looks like I'm not signed up to Activity Reports. Is that what you meant? I don't see the link you refer to on the Account page.

As Oliver341 says "details link, bottom right" from the Gmail home page will show who's been logging in. If you don't use Gmail these instructions wont work

I've edited the disavowal link in the body. Is it anywhere else please? (And thanks to XRaySpeX). I also used it as advised. Now it says it's eithet invalid or already disassociated.

You really think pika ... exists? Maybe I should fix more stuff.

That was why I initially used name1 & name2.

How come those two emails both came to my "l" domain, with about 11 seconds separating them? Is it possible that the verification and congrats emails go to all addresses on the account? Someone's got a very fast connection if they received the first and clicked the link in that time.

Also, the first one says pika is being added to my google account, not to a gmail account. It isn't on my google account.

'Tis a rum business.

That explains why I don't see it then . The google account that has mydomain as its login name does not have gmail.

Yes. If you add a new email to your google account, a "Pending verification" entry appears on the page where you add new email addresses. If it's not there, or the new validated email address isn't there, either the "intruder" deleted the new email, or google had a wobbly.

It's a shame there's no activity log for Google Accounts, just Gmail. The monthly report seems a bit pointless if you're wanting to know what was going on yesterday.
