Alright so yesterday I got an email saying some other person got into my email and Google chrome notified me. I changed my passwords however when I tried to get to my Bank Account I can not access it. My password has not changed and I know I am entering my correct password. I am locked out and the Bank I use doesn't even have a number that I can call for assistance since it's Sunday where there is an actual person that I can talk to.

What the fuck do I do? I have hell loot in there and I am worried. Someone definitely haked through my shit. I got all these warning things from google and it was a sketchy IP address from across the country.

My bank should have a 24 hour number to call for this sort of thing, its stupid. I can't even see my bank account.

Freeze your bank account ASAP. If anybody tries to make any withdrawals or anything the bank will know what is going on. As for every other password they may have gotten.. this sounds like a really shitty situation and I really wish I could help you more man.. There was a big deal in the news a couple months ago about a huge hacker thing going around but I have no idea if this is related.

A few days ago I had an unknown number call me like 5 or 6 times and try to ask about my bank account.

I only answered the first time though so its pretty fucked.

don't use the same passwords for you bank accounts and anything else. Like your NS password shouldnt be the same as your bank account password.

what bank? there's gotta be a number to call somewhere.

My bank account password is completely different than my other passwords. Obviously, they got into my computer data some how. They have my email passwords and those are different than each other. The bank has stupid Indians refusing to deal with my problem. "This is the lost credit card center sir. You can only report lost or stolen cards." This is the only damn number I can call. I told the guy everything and he tried to get me some help but that never happened. Fuck this. I have called them three times. Im calling them again.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT, i cant freeze my account until tomorrow. I am going to give them some shit if my money is fucked.

THEY NEED AN EMERGENCY 24/7 CONTACT the lady helped me as much as she could and went around talking to people. If they can cancel cards they should be able to freeze a fucking account.

It's WSECU, they are good this is the only problem I have had with them. Anny bank should be available to freeze an account 24/7. The only good thing is I had my card canceled a week ago and they still need to send me another. The only thing that could happen is a transfer of funds out of my account to paypal or some shit.

Fuck this probably happened with the paypal hack or something. Paypal is fuckin up.

Not sure if trolling or stupid. If serious, Google did not notify you that someone else attempted to access your Google account. Someone else sent you a fake email claiming that someone else attempted to access your Google account. When you clicked on the link in the fake email, the attackers logged the password that you entered when asked to verify your current password. They then logged into your Google account and used that to reset the password to your bank account (or, if you are stupid enough to use the same password for your bank account, they used that password to log into your bank account and then changed your bank account password). If you can still access your Google account, you are best off changing your Google password to a password that you have never used before, then resetting your bank account password using a password recovery option and setting it to a password that you have never used before.

The only way that it could be related to the PayPal hack is if you used the same password for your PayPal account as you used for your bank account. Otherwise all they could do is withdraw money from your bank into your (now their) PayPal account, not lock your bank account. Unless you used the same password for PayPal and your bank account, the PayPal hack is completely unrelated and what I posted in my previous post is what happened.

Dude you are dumb as fuck and think you know what you are talking about, but seriously sit the fuck down and quit acting like a smart ass bitch. Your the exact kind of person that fucks things up because they think they know everything. Take that as advice before you fuck up big in the real world.

It wasn't an email. I signed into my chrome account and the page popped up from google before I was allowed to my email warning me about an attempted login that occurred 4 times from the same ip and failed. Google chrome requires me to answer a security question when I am on different internet other than my home and this person failed my security questions.

This was for sure a notification from Google, not an email or some bullshit asking for my personal information. It may not be from the paypal hack but someone got a hold of my data through third party somehow. None of my passwords are the same.

I emailed no one anything pertaining to any of my passwords, or bank info. Why fucking would I? This all happened before I even got into my email and realized what happened and I can get into my emails just fine. Im going to check my computer for spyware and shit, I have been running a security screening.

You blatantly said in the OP "I got an email" and somehow I am "dumb as fuck" because I assumed that when you said email, you meant email? Alright then.

Yeah there was an email from google and separately chrome notified me with a warning that my account may have a security breach as I was signing in. Its not some fishing scheme or what ever you think it is.

Then run virus scans and change your passwords. If it was a pop-up then it was a virus. If you use Linux, run ClamAV. If you use Windows, run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. If you use Mac OS or BSD or something else, I don't know. And if you run Windows or Mac OS, switch to a more secure OS and things like this probably won't happen to you again.
