I clicked on a strange Dropbox message. What can I do, so that we don't get hacked?

Hi @Katrin8, thanks for your post. 

 

Do you have a screenshot of the message/link you clicked on? Was it an email or a pop-up notification? 

 

Please provide me with any visuals you may have and I can take a look. 

 

Other than that, you can follow these steps, if you believe there's a chance of your Dropbox account getting hacked.

 

Keep me in the loop.
