Can Google accounts really get hacked?

[sarkwalvein]

Oh, social engineering.
Tell him to fuck himself and avoid further contact, "reporting to the police" sounds good in papers but not very effective IRL IMHO.
Change your passwords (perhaps he knows already some of your passwords, hence the threat)
Don't use stupid passwords.
Avoid fishy things sent by "strangers", don't fall for social engineering tricks.
Check your PC for possible backdoors and keyloggers (just run some Malwarebytes)
Use 2FA everywhere.
Don't type passwords in a place where he may have installed a camera (like his house, perhaps)
Avoid storing your passwords in plaintext anywhere.
And that is it for the paranoid part.

Most probably, just empty threats from a loser.

Almost impossible. I mean really really very little chance. Like someone saying I will fight a whole army alone and beat them.

It's almost impossible now with the phone verification, special characters, longer passwords. However it has increased the amount of people forgetting their accounts due to being forced to use letters they wouldn't usually ;o

In your case though, they'd need to be some A+ blackhat hacker, hacking into googles shit isn't easy. Or as people have said here, he knows or guessed your password. So change it.

In addition, I can say that the winlogon record and all its account users must be secured, because when an attacker has a username and password, this can be said very cretically, for such cases, there is windows two factor authentication, which in turn generates a one-time password using security tokens of various levels.thus, windows logon application shows us that having secured yourself, you can not worry even when using remote access mode.

That's a necro...

But Since i am here i can remind everyone that "hacking" doesn't actually refer to any illegal activitis, that would be "cracking".

I know no one cares and you are still gonna say "hacking" but there should be something compensation for the necro.

It wasn't originally that, the meaning changed since everyone used it like this anyway.

Pointless to argue what it used or didn't use to mean. This is what it means. Being pedantic here is pretty pointless.

2FA is a god send, use it for all your important stuff.
