Dropbox Hacked?
 

Nearly 7 Million Dropbox Account Passwords Allegedly Hacked

Dropbox, the popular online locker service, appears to have been hacked by an unnamed hacker group. It is still unclear how the account details of so many users were accessed and, indeed, if they are actually legitimate or not. However, the group claims to have accessed details from nearly 7 million individual accounts and are threatening to release users? photos, videos and other files.


That being said Drop box is saying it wasn't Hacked.

At least five additional ?teaser? posts appeared Monday and Tuesday on Pastebin, containing between 100 and 900 credentials each.

?Recent news articles claiming that Dropbox was hacked aren?t true,? Anton Mityagin, a Dropbox security engineer said Monday in a blog post. ?Your stuff is safe.?

According to Mityagin, the usernames and passwords posted were likely stolen from other services, but since the reuse of credentials for different online accounts is common among users, attackers tried to use them on different sites, including Dropbox.

?We have measures in place to detect suspicious login activity and we automatically reset passwords when it happens,?

Two-way-Authentication FTW ;)

Two Factor Authentication prevents this from being an issue.

Yes it has been hacked.

No it hasn't been hacked. A third party application was hacked and they attempted to use those login/pass combos to get into Dropbox. There's a difference.

I have two factor auth set up on every account that will let me.

dropbox says they are changing password when they see strange login activity, but in this case, that was totally off topic, because none of the passwords have been changed, because if the user:pass combinations were from other service, dropbox cannot see strange activity as on every account was only one login attempt, so saying thise missleading informations makes you thinking where the truth is :2 cents:
