New Zoom Sign-in Detected from iPhone?

[antdude]

Hello,

Got this e-mail notification about signing it from the old iPhone after 1:16 PM PDT (USA). Model and its version number were correct. However, its device's city was way (>100 mi.) off in the same state. Also, haven't logged into Zoom from this iPhone for a very long time (years?). Zoom (free account) is used from Intel MacBook Pro about once a week like last week. Looked at the logged in the updated Zoom macOS app and saw nothing unusual. Looking at its logged in Zoom's Profile's showing connections show the correct iPhone and computer names and ? E-mail links looked valid like its zoom.us, zoom.com, etc. Confused. Did someone manage to log in from the same exact iPhone model, name, and iOS version from that far away city? Just in case, changed password if someone was used it. Going to keep iOS app signed out for now.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

No. IP geolocation is based on where your carrier connects you to the internet and not based on GPS location of the phone.

Even if it is over 100 miles away? Hmm. A bit confusing and misleading then.

use your browser and go to myipaddress.com to get your phones IP. Then enter that IP at iplocation.net and you will see how inaccurate IP geolocation can be. My phone IP shows in another state more than 600 miles away. And the location is not even a carrier's facility.
