Hoping the braintrust can help with an issue a friend is having.
She noticed Saturday morning all emails from her ex-fiancé dating back to December, most of which were antagonizing, were deleted from her account. This includes several emails she forwarded to a friend Friday. These were apparently sent to Trash from her Inbox and Sent folders then permanently deleted. We started digging into her settings and noticed an iPhone 13, which she doesn’t have but her ex does, logged into her account for the first the day after he gifted her a phone last May. That device routinely logged into her account over the weekend and we assume it’s been doing so since last May. That is odd considering she left him last September and changed her password a few days later when she noticed emails from him were missing. A MacBook logged into her account for the first time Sunday morning and an additional iPhone did the same earlier today. Again, odd considering she doesn’t own a MacBook and didn’t receive a notification for the two- factor verification, which she has on her account. She also has reason to believe he has somehow gained access to her phone based on comments he’s made.

- She‘s already reached out to an attorney and has a call this afternoon with a forensics expert a number of family law attorneys use. Any tips on getting information from Google other than filling out their online form? She’d like to verify the identity of who’s logging in, how many times they’ve logged in, and hopefully recover the emails.
- How is it possible for someone to log in with devices new to her account without her receiving a notification or knowing her password? Spyware? Maybe he has administrator access?
- What are her options if Google doesn’t cooperate? She wants as much evidence as possible so this can be pursued criminally.
