That's upsetting! I got 3 alerts so far within the last 5 months about suspicious logins (from Twitter, Facebook & Google). I was dismissing it telling myself I am being paranoid. Now I think my employer itself is spying on me?

The first alert was from Twitter. I am an H1B from India employed by a WITCH type Indian company working for an US client (probably top 3 in the world in what they do). One day, I saw some Twitter posts about how greencards for Indians would take decades or even 100 years. I was talking about this to a colleague on client's Microsoft Teams. Just as I mentioned this, teams got disconnected. Later that day, was talking to another colleague through same teams about same topic, again got disconnected. I thought it was odd, but dismissed. Then around 9 pm same day, I get an alert from Twitter that they prevented a suspicious login from an IP address in US.

4 weeks ago, I was talking about how my WITCH company manager is not letting anyone take vacation (from Sep-Dec, they are not letting any one take vacation unless absolutely necessary) to another colleague, through client's teams. 3 days later, I get an alert from Facebook that someone accessed by account, this time from Turkey.

Then 1 week later, got an email from Google with a security code that someone had requested for accessing the same Google account.

Don't know if I should just pack up and leave US at this point, lol!
