Used a VPN endpoint in a country that would surely get blocked. Attempted to login with wrong password, did not receive email. Logged in with correct passphrase, received email. Both scenarios looked the same on the login screen, so there wasn't any indication that I logged in with the correct password if I were the attacker
edit: last night they released something that says they sent some of those emails in error. I hope that is the case, but it's still not very re-assuring. I went through and changed all of my financial/critical accounts yesterday in precaution, today my bank account was locked out from brute force. Could be a coincidence, but that is the first time it's ever happened with that account
EditThisCookie was last updated November 22, 2020, so it doesn't seem likely from that.
ublock origin was updated December 2, 2021, but they haven't changed devs or anything that would make me suspicious.
The events are "failed login" and "Login verification email sent". The second one is what triggered the email and this event seems like it should only happen if you correctly login but their additional checks stop it from authenticating completely. The email has a button for "verify new device or location", which sure makes it seem like the login was successful.
I hope they just mangled up their event logger and it really should have been a failed login attempt but was logged as a valid login and triggered the email.
