Someone opened some old cryptocurrency files on my Dropbox, how?
Hello, As you can see from this screenshot, someone opened some files in my Dropbox, all these being old cryptocurrency wallets (there was nothing inside fortunately). If I check from the ...
I had only windows defender and now installed Malwarebytes to run a scan but nothing is found. How should I proceed?
The 3 files that have been "opened" and I have nothing to with it are all 3 files that have to do with wallets, cannot be a coincidence. Of all thousands of files I have in my dropbox...

Dropbox StaffHi fuserr, I see what you mean, but based on all the info you've provided (2fa & recent activity which doesn't seem to be from anyone else) I wouldn't worry.
You can also have a look at your events page. The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes).
I also think this has to do with what my colleague, Jay mentioned and that the files were not actually accessed by someone else.
However, you can always try changing your password as a security measure.
So what other could it be theoretically?
1) A software on my desktop that has access to my synced folders (if I just copy a file it does not show up in the recent activities, so in which case does it show up?)
2) password + 2fa = not an option because there are no more accesses on the log
Again: the 3 files that have been "opened" are all files that have something to do with wallets, this really cannot be a coincidence.
I even had no antivirus software active more than windows defender so I don't know what else could be accessing those files.
Would you mind escalating this issue to a specialist?

Hi fuserr, based on all the checks that you did, it seems that everything is okay.
However, I definitely see where you're coming from, and your need to be extra safe. If you wish, I can open a ticket on my end for you, in order for us to have a closer look into this.
Dear Megan yes I would like the ticket to be opened thank you
