The dump of passwords came to light when the database was picked up by security notification service Leakbase, which sent it to Motherboard.

The independent security researcher and operator of the Have I been pwned? data leak database, Troy Hunt, verified the data discovering both his account details and that of his wife.

If you go to the site https://haveibeenpwned.com/, you can enter your email address to see if your account was compromised.


Some of the users on this board definitely have been. Change your passwords ASAP! I'm making this a global announcement since this hack is pretty significant given how ubiquitous Dropbox is. I know a lot of practices use it for their day-to-day activities.
