Hackers have been very active in recent weeks. Let's count quickly: famous photos, Snapchat and now, Dropbox.
Supposedly 7 million passwords of users of the Dropbox cloud storage service have been made available on the network. The Dropbox team has already come to the public to deny this information:
Recent news, claiming that Dropbox was hacked, are not true. Your content is secure. The usernames and passwords referenced in these articles have been stolen from third party services, not from Dropbox. Hackers then used stolen credentials to try to log in to other sites on the Internet, including Dropbox.
To further clarify, the dropbox reported that the passwords were obtained from a third-party online service, but users were warned of improper access attempts and were further instructed to reset passwords.
By yes, by no, it is best to set a new password for your Dropbox account. Your confidential files are grateful ...
