Email account hacked, is my browser sync data at risk?
-
Hi,
Found out yesterday my account had been locked, and I was unable to get it unlocked (don't know why) but as I've received a few bounce-back emails and don't send any from my vivaldi email address I can only assume my account has been compromised.My question is how safe is my sync data? As someone else has been using my email account

Thanks for the reply, I've already contacted customer support and said they would not be unlocking my account.
That was all they said

As long as the login and encryption passwords are not the same, there's nothing to worry about.

Excellent stuff

Personally, if I had an account shutdown, I would not continue to use it for the partial services that still work. I would create a new account for synchronizing my browser, and I would delete my data from the old account. I hope that at the very least, you've changed both the login and encryption passwords. I think changing the encryption password will clear the server data and require that you upload all of it again anyway, but I'm not certain; it's been a while since I modified that password and don't recall what happened.
