So, My dad's gmail just got hacked and the hacker changed the recovery phone number. After that we received a mail that a Google Adwords payment was made from his account.
Fortunately, the hacker didn't change the recovery mail address and I tried to recover the account but it seems like recovery mails are useless for google. After going through google account recovery, it showed that the account has been locked for security purpose and any update will be sent on my recovery mail. But again the hacker accessed the account and changed the password and again google failed to secure my account.
Now after trying several times I have been locked out of logging in for several hours.
Anything I can do about it now???
