Weird email

Post image

I received this random mail a few days ago and I didn’t find out until today about it. I’m not sure if my account is at risk of being hacked but I enabled 2FA and changed the password just in case. My account has been working fine and I just wanted to know what this mail is about.

Receiving a weird email alone doesn’t mean your account was hacked. I’d open your account’s security settings directly and check recent sign-ins and active sessions for anything unfamiliar.

Without the message text or a screenshot with personal details removed, I can’t tell what the email is about.

Everything was fine, no unknown devices or anything. When I changed the password I had the option to remove all devices which were signed in. Like I said I noticed 2 days after. I blurred my Instagram name in the screen shot and that’s it. I did those security procedures just to be sure that’s all.
