Alert
Jana forgot her cell phone at home and doesn’t remember her parents’ phone numbers. Knowing that her parents were supposed to call her in the afternoon and pick her up in town, her friend Ema lent her her phone. Jana logged into her Google account on Ema’s phone and sent an email to her parents (without saving her password on Ema’s phone). When Jana got home that evening, she found the following email on her phone:
What does this email mean?
It’s a security alert from Google that someone has logged into your account from a different device than usual. If the alert lists the same type of device as Ema’s, and the alert came at a time when she was logging into Ema’s phone, she doesn’t need to be concerned and may ignore the alert.
It’s a security alert from Google that someone has logged into her account from another device and entered a new access password. Jana should change her account password as soon as possible.
This is a fraudulent email called a phishing email that is attempting to get Jana’s Google account password. Jana should not click on any links or buttons in it.
It is a fraudulent email. By logging into her Google account on Ema’s phone, an attacker has accessed her Google account and is now trying to get more confidential information from her.
