A got a series of emails from my yahoo account (which is my backup email for my gmail account).

This is how each email went:

Google verification code sent
Account Recovery Success
Your password was changed
Security key added for 2-Step Verification
2-Step Verification turned on
Recovery secret question was changed for your linked Google Account
Recovery email was changed for your linked Google Account

How the hell did this happened in less than a minute? They couldn't have access my Google account in the first step without that verification code which is in my other email account. I didn't get any intrusion alerts on my Yahoo account that somebody got in. However, I beef up my Yahoo account security by adding a recovery email and phone number just to make sure.

So is this some bot attack that jump through all the security layers with ease?

I can't contact Google til tomorrow which sucks because my phone is going to be rendered useless if I can't update my apps anymore.
