I received an e-mail today - actually, two, one from paypal to my work e-mail, another from Vendio to my business e-mail. Both were part of the same phishing attempt, made to look more convincing by using vendio. So here's why I think my account was accessed: The paypal spoof was sent to my work e-mail. My work e-mail is not linked with paypal OR Vendio. However, during the initial setup of my store two years ago, I used my work e-mail to set up a phony order for testing purposes. This order is listed in my cancelled orders, along with my work e-mail. There is nowhere else online that my work e-mail is listed, including social media. Is there a way to confirm if my account was accessed from an unusual location?
There is a way to confirm when/where your account was accessed from. At this time, your account has only been accessed (in 2013) by the same IP address/computer that you are posting to this message center from.
