"Account compromised” - Google false warning

Added 2022-05-09 19:56:34 +0000 UTC

You’ve been a couple at getting mails from Google warning you that your accounts on Around the Sims 3 or Around the Sims 4 have been compromised.
It’s actually a wrong alert: Google “sees” that your username and your password are also used by other persons, not just by you, but it’s actually normal, because indeed, everyone has the same username and password, so no worries. These passwords and usernames are only linked to ATS3 & ATS4, not to your PayPal account or whatever else, so there’s actually no problem.
It also prevents from tracking you, which I find a good thing (but Google less probably).
Also, most of the ones who wrote me about this use Gmail addresses, so you might not have received my reply, because Gmail tends to consider my mailing server as spam, and sometimes, my mails to you are bounced back to me, sometimes, they end up in your Spam folder!
