after using the iMZDL's Siri Proxy, this morning when I logged on to my Gmail account, a big red warning text saying your account was recently accessed from another location, I tracked the IP, it is in California. I've had this Gmail ever since gmail beta, never once had my password stolen, and I change it periodically. I have got Malwarebytes + Nod32 always running in the background, plus I don't even go to suspicious websites. the only thing I could think of is the Siri Proxy that somehow got my password leaked on my iphone. I was really happy I could use Siri for $20, but who knows if next time I log on my bank account, those info going to be forwarded to someone's computer. I'm deleting the proxy right now.

I had an 80 year old client have the exact same message on her gmail a few days ago. I had her change her gmail password. I think it's just a phishing scam. I doubt it has anything to do with the proxy server. Who knows.

Anyone else have problems like this? I was about to pay my 20 to get the proxy from them. But not sure now.
 
No problems what-so-ever. I use Siri all the time, and have it setup to use the CA server.
 
It can't be because of Siri, that info (passwords) is not transmitted in any type of Siri request.

It's happened to me before in the past. It has nothing to do with an iphone issue. Change your gmail password and you're fine.
 
So Anything that goes wrong from now on is going to be blame on those guys!...

That had nothing to do with those proxy, unless you actually talk your password to SIRI, none of that info is pass to the proxy, the connection is only call when SIRI is in use.

thread Title is very misleading and unfair, I would changed to something that reflect your suspicion and not like it is a fact.
 
Same thing happened to my gmail account I just changed the password.. Make sure when you sign up/register for any forum or any website that the password you set isnt the same as passwsord for the email you used to register im pretty sure thats how they got in my ishhh
 
Slapurself for putting down your primary email account for the transaction. I was a little weary so I put my discrete email for verification. And good news, my Siri is finally up and running after 24 hours :apple:

why are you so certain? I just asked some networking guys in my company and they told me getting your password is very possible through the proxy server.

and i use a different password for all online forums. i really can't think of anything else but the siri proxy server. if it didin't happened to you doesn't mean your info is not stored somewhere on their server. anyways just a headsup.

Unfortunately for you:

a) you spoke your password out loud, so it could be anything on your phone that heard it.
b) Siri Spire actually transmits data not through human readable or hearable format.

hey man. Just, uh, wanted to let you know the word you are looking for is "leery" or "wary."

Weary means fatigued.
