      My gmail was "hacked" in 28 of February in this year, i didn't access any websites or links, maybe any browser is linked to a third party use with any downloads.

      And sadly i am not only one who is affected by this, there many victims who are experiencing this same thing all over again.

      I don't know what is the cause, it is seems unknown for me at least. So let me share the information of why this phishing is causing to me:

      • Gmail is re-used on 28 of February.
      • Didn't install any malice virus/bookmarks.
      • Restoring browser don't stop the incident.
      • My computer and phone is 100% secure.
      • Uninstalling apk mods don't stop the incident

      Solutions:

      • Uninstalling the browser with all user data removed
      • Formatting the pc (In Case The Spam Is Still On)
      • Formatting the phone (In Case The Spam Is Still On)

      Please, i am tired of my gmail getting used my a unknown entity, and deleting all those spam gmail, i tried do go on google support and this problem is still occurring, i will keep updating to make use of all people is still have some question to make on.

        Update 1:

        Uninstalling the browser doesn't not resolve the issue, my only chance is formatting my pc.

        Wish me luck...

            @leocg Sadly i don't know.

            I didn't use any some of "malice" applications or any JavaScript that hacks into my account.

            I didn't go to any website that have a suspicious link or cookie.

            When i don't use one application anymore, i usually go to the service to request my account deletion

            When it's not i just go and delete all my data before deleting the app

            It did just appeared nowhere and now i am worried which login i did enter or not.

            Even i got pwed website says that my account isn't hacked.

            What should i do? There a way to know who sites i did even log in?

              Update 2:

              I did found some news saying that phishing is more used on phones than computers, but it is not my case.

              Of course my gmail is hacked, but strangely it is only my gmail, everything else is fine.

              I start to question myself it is strange how people are just using my gmail without even log my email?

              it is even possible to make a replica of my email without using gmail?

              I will keep a eye on that, just in case...

                @tonshi If you don't know, then why you said that your Gmail account was hacked? There should be a (good) reason for you to think that it happened, right?
