![]() Hackers were spreading the stolen info around so that it could be used to attempt to log-in to multiple sites – including Dropbox – just to see if anything worked.ĭropbox assured users it had protections in place to detect suspicious log-in activity and automatically change passwords if necessary. Apparently the credentials that were being posted had been swiped during attacks on unrelated services and sites. This was definitely not music to Dropbox’s ears and after a little investigating of its own, it was able to emphatically state that it hadn’t been hacked and that users’ personal files were safe. The more Bitcoins that were donated to the hackers, the more log-ins they promised to make public. Hackers posted online that they’d gotten ahold of the user credentials of seven million Dropbox users. Earlier this month you may have heard the sound of millions of Dropbox users sighing in relief at the news that the popular file back-up and sharing site hadn’t become the latest victim of looting hackers.
