Chinese hackers got into my Gmail account

I signed into my Gmail account the other day and was surprised to be prompted with this.

Turns out that my account had been hacked by someone in China. Serves me right for having such a weak password in the first place. I’m now using super-strong passwords thanks to 1Password (Mac only).

I must admit, I’m quite impressed that Google have implemented this feature.
