No, not time to "scrap this feature".
Yes time to scrap this feature, its pointless. Once they are in the account, they have gotten what they wanted, they don't care if a fake IP address is left in the 'Last account activity' list. The only thing the 'Last account activity' list feature really does is reveal the victims IP addresses. Someone who has broken into a Gmail account, the last thing they care about is being reported to Google! People think hackers just want to sit stealth and read emails, thats not always true, usually they are after one specific thing, or in this case a list of IP addresses, they don't care if the victim changes the password after seeing a fake IP address in the 'Last account activity' list. They've already gotten what they came for and left. All the best, n3td3v _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
