My cousins email ID got hacked!

I was talking with my cousin today, she was saying her gmail ID was hacked the day before. Then few spam mails were sent from her ID and she came to know about this incident when few of her friends mentioned it to her.
Good thing she qucikly started working to get out this mess ,she first tried reseting the password but found her ID to be hacked again. Next thing she did was tracking the IP from which the account was accessed, in the footer of gmail there is info about last account activity which tells when email was accessed from which IP.She got the IP from there and found it somewhere from Delhi.
Finally she reported that IP to cyber crime.
I appriciate her for being cool and dealing the situation in right manner
