Wow, I got the same one and then checked my sent folder and saw around 100 emails sent that I did not author...
Thank you for your comment and I eas able to change the account to use Microsoft authentication. It seems to be affecting my Google services as well and I had also added microsoft authentication for verification. However I did notice that someone in England broke into my Google account which I again updated my password and linked it to Microsoft authentication Hopefully this will make it more secure. I have created an alias account and change all my logins to that email address but it is a long process and is taking quite a bit of time.
I got this email!

Hi please can you check my account as I believe it has been compromised.
The password keeps trying to be changed - and attempts being made to sign in.
Can you please investigate and advise me what needs to be done, to stop this happening.
Many Thanks
