Utility website to check if your email is in any records:
hacked-db.com [linking 3rd party yes, as its a security utility website and nothing more]
if your email is found above, change your password just to be safe.

How can they hack your gmail if you have mobile authenticator?
Although it's not only gmail accounts, they hacked any account ppl have made with gmail email address on other websites.
Like if you've made your WoW account with gmail, it can be there.

This is why I use two-tier authentication wherever possible.

Gmail is very hackable and therefore not secure.

#lol... gmail was not hacked, instead it it much more likely that those accounts were gathered across multiple hacked third party sites within the last few years (ppl using same password for gmail as on hacked one)

you can check here if your login information has been exposed.

I support this theory as well. My gmail account is actually on this list, but with a password that I have never used on my gmail, but I have used it on other websites in conjunction with my gmail email. Impossible to find out what website they have got it from though, too many to remember.
