Hi, so I was recently looking at my Google security events when I noticed something strange. On Nov 24th, my Google password had been changed from a location in London. Now I have changed my password a few times in recent months out of paranoia but I live nowhere near London. It surely must have been me who changed the password because I have Access to my account and I changed the password a week ago to something else. I thought it was weird how Google thought I was based in London so I looked up the IP. Apparently this IP is blacklisted on several sites. What is happening! Do I have a virus or what? I am not based in London and it said the provider was Three. My phone uses Carphone Warehouse iD and I don't have any phones using Three. Can someone please explain what the heck is happening!!? Thanks
 
Thanks for your responses but do you have any idea why this is happening. I will turn on Google. Oils this be because I changed the password on a public computer (like a school computer). I'm not sure if that is so but anyway. I appreciate all responses
 


Maybe the computer you changed the password on had VPN.

If you notice any any unsual activity, change your password from a trusted computer and enable two factor authentication or report to Google.
 
Nope, it can't have been on a school pc because the timestamp is after school. I don't think I have used a VPN, I have inmpast but not recently. Any other suggestions. I have secured my account, changed password enabled 2 step authentication
