Hey everyone! Today I was doing some routine checks on my email accounts with Avast to make sure everything was secure. While doing that, I discovered something unusual with my main Gmail account. There's a duplicate entry that I can't find anywhere in my actual Gmail accounts, but it has '.xn' after the '@gmail.com' part. I'm not sure what this means or if I should be worried about it since all my other Gmail accounts don't have this. Has anyone else seen something like this before?

I noticed something similar with my accounts too. Yesterday, I saw a duplicate entry for my own email with '.xn' attached. It's a bit concerning, and I tested through Avast as well, which showed no hacking. If it’s just a one-off glitch, you may want to keep monitoring it. Better safe than sorry!
That '.xn' might be a spoofing attempt where someone created a fake email to trick others. It's also possible that it's just a bug with Avast or another security tool you're using. Can't be too sure without more details, though.
