Dropbox Passwords Leaked!
Importance: High

All,

It looks like Dropbox has been hacked!


"Tonight (10/13), Dropbox suffered a security breach that has resulted in the publishing of thousands of passwords online. Please change your Dropbox passwords immediately, and if possible, enable a form of 2-factor Authentication (where a cell phone is used to receive a secondary 6-digit PIN that is required for you to log in). You can enable 2-factor Authentication by logging into Dropbox, clicking the drop-down in the upper right-hand corner, choosing Settings, then the Security tab, and clicking "Enable" next to "Two-Step verification"."


Please change any other login passwords if your Dropbox password is used elsewhere !! (Including UA NetID)


Please forward to anyone who may use Dropbox.
