Can MEGA be hacked?
Can you get hacked on MEGA
If you are absolutely positive that your password was strong enough as to be unguessable and used nowhere else, then it is possible that you logged in from a backdoored device. Recall which devices you used to access your MEGA account. At least one of them is likely to be compromised.
Is MEGA really secure
MEGA's outstanding feature is its end-to-end encryption. All files that are uploaded to MEGA's servers are encrypted on the side of the client, meaning the user is the only one who can decrypt their own data. Along with two-factor authentication, this makes for a very secure cloud storage service.
Can someone access my MEGA account
Unlike all other major cloud storage providers(*), only you can see what you store in your MEGA account because all your data is encrypted on the client side.
Are files on MEGA encrypted
MEGA is a zero-knowledge encryption cloud storage service. This means that all encryption and decryption is performed by our users, on their devices, with keys that only they have access to. This important cornerstone of our philosophy also applies to file and folder links.
Does MEGA record your IP address
Although all files stored on Mega are encrypted prior to being uploaded to our system, and we therefore cannot access that content unless we are provided with the decryption key, Mega does have access to user registration information and the IP addresses used to access our services.
Does MEGA really delete your data
After you delete a file from your rubbish bin, we retain the file data, metadata (e.g. the filename) and any associated thumbnail/preview images on our servers for at least 60 (sixty) days.
Is MEGA safe to use without VPN
Downloading from mega is completely safe, you do not need a VPN for that. It depends on what you download, if you download malware, you will get it if you use VPN or not, if you download pirated content you will get identified by the account name you use, in this case VPN may hide your IP address.
Is MEGA more secure than Google Drive
With Mega, you get end-to-end encryption (or client-side encryption), which means that even Mega does not know what you are uploading and cannot identify the content of your files. Of course, without end-to-end encryption, it does not mean that your files in Google Drive are insecure.
Does MEGA look at your photos
Your account is encrypted, and the files you share can also be encrypted (but don't have to be). Part of this means that even Mega can't see what files you've uploaded.
Is MEGA more secure than Dropbox
Both Dropbox and MEGA offer similar file sharing and syncing capabilities. But MEGA can provide secure file sharing and support for real-time sharing and parallel sync, so MEGA is slightly better than Dropbox in this regard.
Is my data safe on MEGA
All your data on MEGA is encrypted with keys generated from your password. It's your main encryption key. What makes this so secure is that no one has access to your password apart from you — not even us. Some cloud storage providers hold the decryption keys, but with MEGA, you control the encryption.
Can hackers see my IP address
Every website and app you use can see and record your IP for security and legal purposes. This means that cybercriminals can use your IP address and online identity to check if you're a valuable target. Malicious hackers will scan your Wi-Fi to see: What devices are connected to it.
Where do deleted MEGA files go
Data deleted/overwritten in the local synced folder gets moved to a folder called 'SyncDebris' in your MEGA account's Rubbish Bin. You can restore the data using a web browser or our mobile app. Login, navigate to your Rubbish Bin and locate the 'SyncDebris' folder.
Does MEGA track IP addresses
Although all files stored on Mega are encrypted prior to being uploaded to our system, and we therefore cannot access that content unless we are provided with the decryption key, Mega does have access to user registration information and the IP addresses used to access our services.
