Unknown Linux device
« on: 22 October, 2021, 08:22:16 pm »
On poking around in my Google account settings for other reasons, I noticed that my Google account was signed in on a device I don’t recognise. It’s listed as Linux device, no other details.

What could this be and is it a concern?

I have signed out of the Linux device and changed my password.

Oh.

Could it be a TV?

Quite possibly, most devices run some flavour of Linux such as (for our LG) WebOS.

I think it might be signing in to Youtube on the telly.

Panic over. I’m a bit paranoid presently as I’ve had spam lately that seems to elude the Gmail spam filters and arrives right in my inbox, including one today that was in what looked like Cyrillic.
