    Default Something really weird just happened:(

    How do u know if you've been hacked? While i was sitting at my laptop, I just heard a notification. So I looked to see what it was. Notification was showing a folder removed from drop box. The folder that was removed has a lot of my personal files in it Files like my real name and social security # from my old job

    Is there anything I can do to see if someone has hacked my computer?


    I am seriously freaking out !!!!

    My Dropbox and gmail account was hacked this morning. I received an email saying someone signed into both of my accounts from L.A. Um, I don't live there so I change my passwords. I had nothing of importance in my Dropbox, just some ebooks and pics but I feel gross about someone hacking into my gmail that's for my camming work. Change your password immediately! I wonder if there was a major hack.

    Another thought, maybe you have a Trojan on your computer and it's removing your files? Scan your computer with antivirus software and malware bytes.

    I haven't received an email saying that I have any unusual activity tho, that's the thing?

    I guess Dropbox usually just does that as a precaution. So if you got hacked, they would send an email. But if a trojan or someone is on your computer, then you'd probably wouldn't get an email. I hope you find out what it is!

    I was thinking tho, just yesterday or the other day something popped asking permission to my drop box and I said yes thinking that it was just something normal cause I did do a reset on my computer a month ago. I'm wondering if thats how they got access to my laptop?

    Hmm. I never seen anything like that. Doesn't sound normal. I would scan your computer and maybe restore it back to factory settings, if the problem persists.

    Also alert your bank's just in case and change your passwords. I've never had that happen to me but a graphic design friend of mine had some content stolen via Dropbox a few months ago so I've been wary of the security of it since then. I hope this is just a glitch or a quick fix for you. Hugs
