Admittedly it's the fourth paragraph, but this is an overview:
> ... while allegations that Dropbox was creating a spoof dialogue box to phish users’ passwords proved to be incorrect, critics continued to slate its implementation of an official OS X security dialogue box that they said appeared designed to mislead users into handing over their admin passwords in order to grant Dropbox root access to the system via the Mac’s Accessibility permissions list.
It's an awful overview, for sure, but it is present.
Similarly, the 'ask random people' part in the article /does/ come after the explanatory segment. It's just that the explanatory segment quotes HN comments /from the company being talked about/ and isn't very good. ;)
