They later update that the problem resolved itself, likely a temporary glitch. Another user suggests that such issues are often caused by hacking, implying a concern about account security but without definitive confirmation.

I have 2 gmail accounts. Today,one of them showed up in Russian. A long time ago, I had a similar problem, but that time it appeared to be Chinese. So I went ahead and changed passwords on both accounts as a precaution. I don't remember what I did for the Chinese situation, but perhaps the problem just went away. Have any of you had a similar thing happen, and is it anything to be concerned about?
