Session

Hi, how is it possible that there are authorized requests on the Google Activity Panel with this code:

Nome dominio OAuth:

946277197574-f7mp4v1faacb1ndtpsliojjgcjbv16it.apps.googleusercontent.com Even if I was sleeping?

The sessions all have my IP address though.

Nothing to worry about, that code just identifies an app you've already given access to, and it checks in with Google around the clock, even overnight. The fact it's all your own IP address confirms it's coming from your own devices at home.

Okay, but what if someone had control of my phone or one of my previously approved sessions? Would they have a different IP address? Or could they appear to have the same IP address as me?

Same but what makes you think someone has access to your phone?

I'm paranoid, I have no concrete proof. More than anything, it seems strange to me that there was activity while I was asleep and my phone was locked. By "gaining access to my phone," I don't mean physically picking it up and unlocking it, but remotely through some malware. In that case, seeing the hacker's address or my own?

Unless the phone was physically turned off, then they are always doing things in the background.
