Is my account hacked?

Re: Is my account hacked?

Megan

Hi @brzoserr, have you also checked that the email address you're receiving these emails to, is the same one you use for your Dropbox account?

 

Is it possible that you have two accounts, and the emails are referring to another account?

My email address and Dropbox account is the same email address

Thanks for clarifying that for us @brzoserr 

 

Would it be OK if we reach out via email to have a further look internally at this point?

Of course, how can I reach you?

No worries @brzoserr - I've just sent you an email to the email address that's connected to your Community profile.

 

Please have a look at your inbox and we'll take it from there.

My account was hacked last week and deleted. Can it be recovered?

Hello,

My email was hacked and they got ahold of my dropbox and deleted the account. I just got my email account back yesterday and when I tried to log into my dropbox the only option I had was to create a new account. I believe my account was deleted. Is there a way to recover my account?

You can try contacting Support but, typically, once an account has been deleted, it cannot be recovered.

 

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.

Understood. There should be a process especially for upgraded accounts for a situation like this. How do I contact support? Is there an email?
