Danysun 0 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I see some dangerous activity with my account. Evernote Web 30.06.2019 185.125.169.5 (Oslo, Norway) Evernote Web 27.06.2019 185.251.14.25 (London, United Kingdom) I live in other country. I Don't use nor Evernote Web nor VPN/Proxy. A week ago some unknown device had connected my account. (android at samsung note 3, i don't have any samsung smartphones.) I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE ABOUT NEW DEVICE CONNECTED to my account! I have changed my password. I switched off Samsung Note 3 as a device. What else should i do? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,088 Posted July 3, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted July 3, 2019 If you have a strong password unique to your account, it should alone protect your data. Activate 2FA is the best next step. First it will create an additional factor to access your account. Secondly, it will notify you whenever somebody tries to get into your account. As being on BASIC, you have to use Google authenticator to create the 2FA-codes. P.S. And the bad guys (using credential stolen elsewhere) use VPN / proxies, and exchange the device ID to make people think it was a mobile that entered. Most likely, it was a server or desktop, nowhere near to the places listed, trying this on a number of accounts running on an automated process, using stolen data from breaks into other services (EN is up to now not known for breaches). 1 Link to comment

Evernote does not notify about new devices - it would be a nice feature The Evernote new password should only be used on the Evernote service Don't use it on other services - this is where the hackers are getting their information 1 Link to comment
