That's not that odd.
Pearl Harbor is an important place in American History, and Hawaii is a huge tourist destination. It would make sense for someone visiting there to look up stuff about Pearl Harbor.

The majority of my most recent searches include Hezbollah, the Persian military, easy ways to make meth, places to get fake IDs, morally depraved headshops, "Hydrocyanic Acid Synthesis Instructions", and possibly (definitely) porn. Does anybody have a team of lawyers I can borrow?
Have had this notification a few times before, had a mini-heart attack each time but so far I haven't been deported so good news there.

Wait, you people get notifications for looking at stuff like IRA and such? Man sometimes I love my lawless country...I could open up an Al Quaida recruitment page over here and still sleep peacefully at night, simply cuz nobody gives a damn....

Hm...where can you see the login attempts on the gmail account?
I know my primary GMX account constantly gets failed loging attempts.
But the PW has like 20 characters and such...
Only chance to get that is to get the PW imo, not that it'd be worth it.
I don't know about that China-stuff.
Their cyber warfare is much less secretive, if something pops up they just blame hackers though.
But don't fear: NSA won't even show up, neither would the GCHQ.
Their deals don't need them to log into your account, they just access the servers directly.

Always keep in mind that your best friend is watching over you. And how he's doing that "just for your own safety".
EDIT: Of course those Chinese Hackers also use the accounts for spamming.

I've gotten a few of those in the past. I changed my password and I haven't gotten one since.

Nope, more likely NSA....all the research I did on the IRA for Molly RP got me a knock on the door and held up in UK customs at Heathrow during my trip to Europe this summer.
you are kidding, right?
i got lazy with a password when registering for a mobile game - it was the same as my facebook account. facebook said 'you've had suspicious activity on your account, change your password'
the wierd thing was the game was hosted in china, but the suspicious activity came from san francisco.
proxy haxors!
