Could I have been hacked after opening a PDF?

Asked By CuriousCat92 On

I recently downloaded a PDF file from the Internet Archive, and as soon as I opened it, the file got deleted. I ran my antivirus software, but it didn't find any issues. Could this be a sign that I've been hacked or is there another explanation? By the way, I use an Android device with version 14 and One UI 6.1.

It sounds like you're worried about malware. While it's possible to get infected by malicious files, sometimes a file just gets removed due to system settings or security features in your device. Have you checked your security settings? Also, try running another malware scanner since your antivirus might not catch everything. Better safe than sorry!

Don't panic just yet! It could be a glitch or an automatic security feature that deleted the file. It's a good idea to keep your device's software up to date and regularly check for malware just to be safe. If it happens again, though, you might want to consider resetting your device.
