Deco Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Howdy!I went into my "RandomSecrets" folder today and found this:This is definitely not one of the secrets I subscribed, and I did not create it manually.It seems there is a way to write outside the synchronized folder. I suspect it's probably something along the lines of "..\Have you got a virus". If that's true, then they could easily install malicious software in a higher directory.How can I help in investigating this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatMarko Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Deco, please ensure that you are using at least version 1.0.130 (latest version is 1.0.134). This issue you refer to sounds the same as this one, which was resolved for 1.0.130 on 7th May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it fail or did you turn it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It may have been that issue.I updated to 1.0.134 as soon as it came out.Whether the file has been there for a while or only just appeared, I'm not sure; I only noticed it yesterday.If it's recreated, I'll post again.Thanks for your help.

GreatMarko Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Whether the file has been there for a while or only just appeared, I'm not sure; I only noticed it yesterday.Well, from your screenshot, the highlighted folder appears to have been last modified on 23rd May at 03:20. BitTorrent Sync 1.0.134 was available from 15th May (via manual download/update), but was only really rolled out via auto update last week.... so it would be interesting to know when you updated to 1.0.134, and whether that was before/after May 23?
