If you opened up your Google account today and suddenly found yourself logged out, you can rest assured that you have not been hacked. According to reports, it seems that quite a few Google users have suddenly found themselves signed out of their account and according to Google, there’s nothing to worry.

In a statement provided to Android Central, Google says that they’re looking into the issue but so far there are no signs that this is security related. “We’ve gotten reports about some users being signed out of their accounts unexpectedly. We’re investigating, but not to worry: there is no indication that this is connected to any phishing or account security threats.”

They also add, “Please try to sign-in again at accounts.google.com and if you cannot remember your password, please use this link (g.co/recover) to recover your password. If you use 2-Step Verification, there may have been a delay in receiving your SMS code. Please try again or use backup codes.”

I have personally found myself signed out of my account today and it did not look like there was anything suspicious. I simply signed back in and everything appeared to be normal. However we’ll keep our eyes and ears peeled for more information should any additional information surface, but for now it seems that there’s nothing to worry about.
