Yeah, all my devices, all here with me right now. Only weird thing there is that my windows desktop was listed 4 times.
And now after changing password and signing into my phone, watch, and desktop, there is a new device, named after my desktop, but it says its an iPhone... but that its running windows?! https://snipboard.io/A40yZP.jpg
I feel like they're just trying to irritate me out of using a windows pc, though I'd sooner get rid of all my apple devices.
I guess I'm just going to see if the emails keep coming after the password change. We have no reason to suspect that the password was compromised... but hey, sometimes the things that dont seem to make sense end up working.
Here’s my theory. It’s not that your Windows desktop was listed 4 times. Those are 4 different devices. One of them is the real Windows desktop. The others are some other devices (could be the attacker’s, or your automation devices) that are using the same authentication token copied from your Windows machine. That’s why they are all recognized as your Windows desktop.
