Hacker News Reader

I have a location in New Delhi, where I have never been. But I doubt this is because my account was hijacked. Both because I have two-step authentication, and because I have no log-ins from outside my city. Check yours here: https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1

My log-in history isn't going back to when the access was. I've got 2-factor reengaged so I'll see if it pops up. Bizarre that would happen as the closest I've been to China in a few months is northwestern Australia. Funny jumps from Perth to central China.

Well don't be to sure about that. Google locations is very inaccurate.

Anybody else have hits from Beiliu throughout October / November? I've not kept enough up on security news but it seems like there's been sporadic access through there.

I remember opening Maps on my Android phone during that period and being localized there (instead of Milan where I live) at least a couple times, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.

Elsewhere in the thread somebody mentioned that a particular location in China around when you got your phone is likely the phone being tested before being shipped to you.
