It happens when you used the same email to register on any websites especially related to cloud mining sites or any related sites, they sold those email to any people/company/organizations. So if Skrill does have a feature to change email then try to change it since I can't assure that 2FA is enough, there are so many reports from exchanges or any sites related to crypto with the 2FA enabled accounts getting hack plus try to change your password to a strong one.

@OP
Yeah, this must be it.
Your email might have recorded and listed on one of many untrusted sites (could be a re-seller of active emails).

Try to use https://haveibeenpwned.com/. Input your email and click on the pwned? button to check if your email have been breached.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

I just opened my email to check it as I do every day and I saw 3 different IP had logged in my SKRILL account. I immediately didn't change password but added 2FA Authentication for Skrill. There is no way they to have find my Google password as I have it with 2FA too.
Am I safe or should I also change the password ?

Can confirm how many times you tried to logging into your wallet. I see the some log in attempt issue on various exchange but when I check the times I logged to wallet or exchange, both would be same thing mate.

If you add the Google 2FA security you do not need to worry about the security mate. Transaction, hacking all will not be a possible thing at all mate.
So do not worry about it mate.

You know that there is a problem in your account that someone other than you tried to login to your account so change the password as well.But as long as you have enabled the two factor authentication the password is nkt only enough to login so if some got your password can't even login.
but change the password as well in my opinion.

The bitcoin is secure, in an Electrum wallet but soon will transfer it to a hardware wallet. I have access only to that computer and it only has installed nicehash and Msi Afterburner. So it is free from viruses.

Now that you turned on the 2fa security, basically you're safe. In any case, never write the auth key on public and just keep it for yourself.

I'm not familiar with skrill specifically on how they send a notification for logs but, with that 3 logged in, was it a success or a failed?
If it was a success and your funds is still complete, maybe you've logged in on your own account with a different IP? on a different place or maybe you have a dynamic IP?

I know my IP as I have 2 static IP-s which I use one at home and one at work. All IP logged successfully but my Skrill had 0 USD in it. The intruder was just logging every several hours with the hope to find some btc deposited there through Electrum and to send to his Skrill email address. I think I am safe too now and as you see I have more than 1000 USD sitting there in my btc addresses, but I will withdraw them in December when that amount will be 10.000 USD or even more based on Bitcoin price.

Its good that you have taken some precautionary moves to secure your account but for the mere fact that the account was assessed shows its vulnerable and I am sure if your account had some amount there, it would have been wiped out. While 2FA is a potent security measure to protect your account, for a targeted account, its not enough because an hacker can go ahead to intercept whatever code that would be sent and still access the account.

Instead of keeping your $1000 there to wait till December ( putting in mind every top notch security gets weaker by the day) why not keep it in an offline wallet that you know about alone after all keeping it on that platform or somewhere else does not stop bitcoin price from reaching $20000 or falling to $1000. #my opinion.

By just using up our common sense having those number of log-in attempts we would normally be worried or being alert. Good for you that you had set out 2fa,if not then say goodbye to your funds and thats why its always been suggested on all people to set out this security feature because we wont even know on when hackers would able to bypass or known our account details.It inevitable on some cases no matter how careful we are on securing our log-in details.For now you are safe but as i have read above you had changed your password which is a right thing.

I think the question is why not? The 3 different IP logins is an enough proof that you should be doing "everything" you can to secure your account.

Layered security is always recommended so that if A got bypassed, you've still got other protectors (B,C etc..).

I understand what you say, but shouldn't 2FA bypass the login password and should not let an intruder to log in. Probably the intruder wanted to withdraw some amount of money as my mining income I withdraw with Skrill and it is not little I have to withdraw as you can see from the addresses below. That was my luck now and I think to have stopped him with 2FA, will be quiet in one week to check if there are any logins from new IP-s again.

Addresses of my mining activity(which of course I don't mind sharing some of them)
https://blockchain.info/address/1KEe2CG6YEYAGQ8GjnKDyh6ATF4EA5hoxp
https://blockchain.info/address/1DBhYqKdZQFb86bY5LACzP7HYCw2A6fiFM

Did also change the password for a better security measure.
