Hi all.
I lost my cell phone in Miami in December in a rental car while on a trip. I had personalized it and logged into my Google account on that phone, and my Google account has a bunch of my passwords changed.
Within an hour of losing it, I changed my Google account password and the passwords on the most important financial accounts. I also filed a lost item report with the car rental company.
(Yes, password manager, cryptographic passwords, blah blah. I know.)
After a week or so, I replaced the lost cell phone with a new one and ported my cell phone number from the lost phone to the replacement phone.
Starting last night, I've gotten about half a dozen "pings" on my replacement cell phone from Google asking me if I'm trying to log in to my Google account from a cell phone in Miami. I say "no" every time, and every time Google tells me no problem, my password wasn't used and my account wasn't accessed. So that's good.
The last one sent a recovery code to my backup email account. I deleted that email as well.
Obviously someone has found my cell phone. Maybe they're kind and trying to figure out a way to return it to me. Maybe they're evil and trying to access my Google account to do all sorts of yucky identity theft things.
I'm going to try getting in touch with the rental car lost and found people to renew my lost item report, as a kind person might return it there.
I've gone in everywhere I can find in my Google account and told it to disconnect that cell phone from my Google account.
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know how to stop this person from even attempting to log in anymore? It's creeping me out a little, even though intellectually I think I'm OK.
