I lost 300gb of data yesterday and I need to find the cause. I downloaded crystal tools which says my HDD is in a good state.
The data I lost was all from 2017, not a single file still on the drive is from 2017.
I ran a data recovery program, and some of the files recovered show a "recycle bin", which has some of my lost folders in it. Meaning it was put in the recycle bin first.
Most of the data lost were movies, isos, roms, some phone recordings, a bunch of wallpapers. my resume, my gamedev project, all my webms.
Also 2 people have called my phone and got a "wrong number", one of them being from out of the country. I've literally not had this happen in years. One of my neighbours who I share a network with sometimes talked about how he was being hacked constantly, and had to get a new phone number every once in a while.
I need to step up my security and want to find out who's doing this. Any advice?

What do you mean by "lost"? Did you format your disk by accident or you turned on your PC once and it didn't boot?

Read your auth logs. If they got wiped too, change your setup to also log to a remote host.
Probably nothing weird actually happened, so just restore your data from backups.

mind you i didn't do anything to delete them, format the drive, or anything. Just various folders and files are missing, and it doesn't make any sense which ones are gone. only that no 2017 files exist anymore and it's mostly media, pictures, isos and txt files
