Yahoo Mail Detecting Wrong Suspicious Login Activity - Showing Wrong Day in Recent Login Activity

Yahoo Showing Wrong Day in Recent Login Activity

Today, I was accessing my Yahoo Mail and I found Yahoo send me some message regarding "Recent Login Activity". I shocked and thought someone used my Yahoo mail. But, I found Yahoo is showing wrong date and Showing my own IP Address

See the Message Send by Yahoo

We detected a suspicious login to your Yahoo! account (Wed,May 5,2012, 12:26 AM) from India

Note: This location is based on information from your ISP or wireless provider.

Was this you? If so, you can disregard this alert message.

If this wasn't you, please follow the links below to protect your Yahoo! account information from future account hijacking:

I found on 5th May 2012 there was Saturday

Also I checked the IP address, the IP Address provided by Yahoo was my own IP address

Might be any bug in Yahoo Mail System and Yahoo need to fix this.

  1. We need to be more careful about these types of situations so we don't misunderstand anything. But it's also suspicious how Yahoo is functioning a bit twisted right now. I once had a similar experience but I did not look into it any further thinking it was just a one time thing.

  2. I just got a similar notification, only it showed an 'internal' IP address (10.193.38.185) which is impossible for anyone to use as an external IP... weird...

  3. I am experiencing that kind of problem too.Yahoo detected suspicious activity when I tried to log in, but I viewed my recent history log in settings, it showed there my own IP address.Is someone remotely accessing our e-mail?
