Re: Google or Hackers?
if your phone is connected to the account (and it needs to be, if you want email)
No, not if you're using a 3rd-party mail service.
then the account can be used to enable remote GPS tracking, make the phone ring for 5 minutes in case you misplaced it, or even send a remote WIPE command to the phone, just by logging in to the account on any computer
Only if you've enabled that on the phone/tablet.
