Parageiss 1 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Today I went to add a note and I got a message saying basically I have a free account and have to many devices, as I only use it on one device I was curious to find two iPhones, one last used 10 days ago another 2 days ago. As I only use Android, no one in my family use iPhone and nobody I know used iPhone so why were these on my account? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted July 24, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi. You should be able to see IP addresses linked to the other devices - are they different? Are they possibly similar to your own? The automatic systems recognition is sometimes not great - I was told someone from a different continent was accessing my account, but when I checked the connections were from my IP address! Obviously security can be a concern - Evernote have some notes about that... https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004395487-What-to-do-if-you-suspect-unauthorized-access-to-your-Evernote-account Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted July 24, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Most likely these are no iPhones but regular computers that try to access accounts, camouflaged as an iPhone. Usually these devices run under program control and will alert a hacker controlling it when an access worked. To check whether you e-mail address was exposed in one of the many breaches (not in EN, but in services like Yahoo and LinkedIn) of the last years, you can go here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Link to comment
Ayush Jain 0 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 My account was accessed by a New Unidentified Login from Sony Xperia Pro phone. The IP shows the location of Delhi, India; while I live in Bangalore, India. This IP surely would be a bogus one. This is perhaps a hacking attempt. I have then added 2FA and changed password as a security measure. But is it possible to know what all this person did in my account while he was logged in? I am curious since there is a lot of data / notes present in my account. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted July 30, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 30, 2021 No, this is not possible from the account information. Maybe support could (I doubt it). 1 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted July 30, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi. Have you checked the IP address? I had a similar notification but spotted that the IP address - despite showing a source in India - was actually mine. If this was a third-party address, then Evernote have more here... https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004395487-What-to-do-if-you-suspect-unauthorized-access-to-your-Evernote-account 1 Link to comment
