Your account login activity is stored within the account settings security portion. probably restored their access and checked from there.

Yes, but what made him suspicious?Your account login activity is stored within the account settings security portion. probably restored their access and checked from there.
The smart thing to do would have been to login, but not when the user was likely to. That should have been simple enough to calculate due to the time zone difference. The USA is 6-9 hours behind GMT.
