Just searched in my Spam folder for the email address I only use for Dropbox et voilà: I got the spam messages mentioned. After the password-gate last year (http://blog.dropbox.com/index.php/yesterdays-authentication-bug/ http://blog.dropbox.com/index.php/yesterdays-authentication-...) this is the second major security breach by a company I (and many people I know) have a lot of data entrusted to... This really sucks!
Whats even worse: The first reports came in (from users!) over one day ago and the forum thread seems to indicate that they still have no clue what happend!
[Update] One possibility might be, that dropbox is not the culprit after all but that the spammers started to realize that people use those service-specific addresses more and more and they just send out emails to [some-service-name]@[some-domain]. At least my address is dropbox@[mydomain].
So lets hope for that...
- thoughtsimple 14y agoAny response from Dropbox yet on this? Given their previous problems, you would think they would be on top of this immediately.
