Dropbox鈥檚 68m user IDs said stolen
Print Edition
CLOUD-BASED data storage company Dropbox said yesterday that user IDs and passwords of some 68 million clients were stolen four years ago and recently leaked onto the Internet.
Dropbox said it had no indication any of its user accounts were improperly entered, and that it had notified the users and made them reset their passwords on the accounts.
The company learned of the theft of the data only two weeks ago after the 68 million user credentials were posted online, but indicated it still does not know how or by whom.
“The list of email addresses with hashed and salted passwords is real, however we have no indication that Dropbox user accounts have been improperly accessed. We’re very sorry this happened and would like to clear up what’s going on,” it said in an emailed statement.
Dropbox believes the credentials were taken in 2012. After learning of the problem, it said, “we then emailed all users we believed were affected and completed a password reset for anyone who hadn’t updated their password since mid-2012.”
“This reset ensures that even if these passwords are cracked, they can’t be used to access Dropbox accounts.”
