Was I hacked??
So I logged on, and for some reason a lot of my projects were deleted. The three lost recent ones are gone, and so is an art dump and two other art posts. I worked hard on those, and there's no way I could have deleted them by accident. I recently made a project two days ago about an update, and now a lot of my followers won't be able to see it. I am very upset about this. I have no idea what could have happened. They were all there before, and they disappeared when I refreshed the page. I hope I wasn't hacked, and that someone can help me get my projects back.

Re: Was I hacked??
Was your password easy to guess? You should contact the Scratch Team directly about this. You almost certainly either left your computer on, or made your password something like your username, there's never been a case of actual hacking on Scratch.

Re: Was I hacked??
I contacted the scratch team. But I'm really worried because I have a lot of friends who will be wondering what happened.

You can download deleted projects by inserting "static/" between "scratch.mit.edu/" and "projects/", and adding ".sb" to the end, as shown in this guide.

And make sure its a good one that isn't easy to guess.
^ If you're worried about a keylogger, you can try typing gibberish into Notepad or something and copy-pasting a certain part of it. That way if you have a keylogger, it won't catch you typing the actual string of characters that make up your password.
Kinda overkill, but why not

Or you could just use the on-screen keyboard. ^^
And if you do suspect that you have a keylogger, the first thing you should do is run a scan for malware.
