For the last few weeks, I have been receiving notifications that I am being added or removed from old and archived boards, sometimes by deleted users that are no longer active on our account. I'm worried the account has been hacked somehow? If not, it's a bug. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Hi @Emma Jones  ,Welcome to community !

Thank you for reaching out about this. To help me investigate why you were removed, could you please provide a few more details?

  • Board Name: Could you confirm the name of the board you were removed from?

  • Notification Details: If possible, please share a screenshot of the notification you received.

Why this might be happening:
It is possible that the administrator's account for that board was deactivated due to our dormant account policy (which happens when an account is inactive for a long period). This can sometimes trigger automated notifications about membership changes.

However, I would like to cross-verify this for you to be certain. Once you share the board name, I will look into the logs and check exactly what happened!

Thank you !
