Matt,
Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account, . We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. Find out how at http://support.google.com/accounts?p=reset_pw

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google product or account.
I have omitted my email for privacy reasons.

They have also been trying to get at my Guild Wars 2 account. If I can find the email Ill put it in spoilers.

Now I know what you're thinking, change your password and do all that security stuff. I have already done that from changing my password to my verification code and what your secret question is.
I have back traced the IP back to a hotel in Hefei, Anhui, China to a [censored] little apartment. I don't know how I'd go about doing this but if I could possibly contact Chinese authorities to apprehend the potential hacker. Thanks and if mods deem this thread a violation of the rules I understand as it talks about China.

Are you saying you changed your password and they've continued to try and gain access to your email account? Because if so you should probably do a malware scan or something.

How did they get your password in the first place...?
