The Dropbox Hack is Real:
Here is what you need to do:
1) Use Have I Been Pwnded (HBID) to determine if your account has been compromised. I highly recommend using their Notify Me service to receive emails if an account you use is breached.
2) Change your Dropbox password.
3) Use a service such as 1Password and LastPass to create strong, unique passwords on every site. You never want to reuse the same password on different sites, as a breach on one site could expose your account on others.
4) Enable 2-factor authentication for your highly sensitive accounts, such as the account you use on Google, LastPass, Paypal, eBay, and other sites. In the event of a breach, 2FA can defeat an attacker and prevent them from accessing your account.
5) Use anti-theft software, such Prey, to track down a stolen laptop or smartphone.

Earlier today, Motherboard reported on what had been rumoured for some time, namely that Dropbox had been hacked. Not just a little bit hacked and not in that "someone has cobbled together a list of credentials that work on Dropbox" hacked either, but proper hacked to the tune of 68 million records. |
