Do you use Dropbox? You may need to change your password.
15 Oct 2014
In a recent leak, a user claims to have the usernames and passwords of nearly 7 million Dropbox users. To prove that the information is real, 420 Dropbox usernames and passwords have been posted.
Dropbox is forcing everyone affected by the leak to change their password. In a post on their blog, Dropbox has said that it was not their service that was compromised but third-party services which exposed the credentials.
