Someone logged into my Dropbox account and changed my email
Hello,
My Dropbox account has been hacked and my email address changed so that I am now unable to access my files (but the hacker is). What can I do about this please? This is my personal information.
Thanks for your help.

Hey Joe_wit, thanks for bringing this to our attention and sorry to see that you're having this issue.
Do you still have access to the email address previously connected to your account?
Can I reach out to you on the address you have here on the Community, so we can look into this more closely?
Let me know. - Hi Hannah,
Yes I do. And yes please, that would be great.
Thanks,
Joe - HannahNo worries, Joe, I just reached out to you, so make sure to check your emails.

You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Yes, of course!

My account has been hacked and both my email and password have been changed. I can't change anything or even delete my account.
I also can't contact technical support because I have a Basic account.
Can anyone help to tell me how to get support?

Also note that Dropbox Support is not available on weekends. You'll need to wait until AT LEAST tomorrow before you receive a response.
