Approximately 30 minutes ago Google and Microsoft reported successful login attempts on my accounts. Both services blocked the access and sent me notifications. I changed my Google password, but my Microsoft account remains locked. My passwords seem complex, incorporating CPU numbers, a Sony VAIO model, and a Volvo engine code. I’m quite concerned. The IP address came from Google, and I ran a scan with MalwareBytes. It appears a keylogger could have been the method used. Is that possible? I’m unsure what to do next.

Yes, it is possible. The data transmitted via the VPN could be visible to others based on its security level. Did you access gmail, hotmail, or youtube during this time while connected to the VPN?

I don't have a VPN. The login came through one. This IP address can't be pinged, and the machine was marked as "Unknown," which is Google's response when it identifies a server.

It's irrelevant what's happening. Someone is trying to take control of you, but your data remains safe.

Your phone appeared in your account's device list, and its IP address was located in your state.

Did you log in to Gmail or Hotmail using your mobile data before receiving the alert? That’s likely the reason.

I've been connected to Wi-Fi for over 20 hours. I was searching about a Dell item when Google shared the information.

It seems you're concerned about security. Please update your passwords and monitor your accounts for unusual activity.

Two-step verification is active on both Google and Microsoft accounts. The location information is uncertain; I accessed via my phone’s internet, which indicated Seattle, Washington, while I was actually in Iowa. It seems the server used for the connection may have influenced this result.
