Anything else should be assume its a malware or trojan attempt, and if that happens youre screwed.

.js is a Javascript file.
I would definitely not open any files from a dropbox unless you know the owner and know the files in it are okay.

The note that came with the notification said "Send 1 btc to Alan. Leave 2.7 btc in main wallet".
To be honest this is some good hacking technique, I was so tempted to open it to see if any bitcoins would fall out, lucky I posted here then scanned it!

Why would you want to open some random file shared with you anyways? Common sense dictates you either unshare/delete or simply download the said files from the actual site, or simply ignore, if you really want to open it, use a clean isolated machine, but scan it beforehand
does wallet.js mean anything?
it's a .js formatted file named "wallet".
there can be anything inside.Yeah but would a electrum wallet be stored at wallet.js?

when someone shared some files out of nowhere, don't open them.
maybe post the link here. but remove the htt.ps://www. and write something [beware! might be malware.] just in case.

I just got some files shared by some random person called "bitcoin backup" and inside it was electrum-2.6.4.exe and wallet.js
Is this malware? or some other type of hack/phishing attempt?
