An employee&#039;s password, stolen when LinkedIn was hacked in 2012, was then reused to access the same person&#039;s Dropbox account. That account contained Dropbox credentials.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that most of the passwords were stored in encrypted form, so they can&#039;t be used too easily.<br \/>\nWhat Dropbox says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We first heard rumors about this set two weeks ago, and immediately began our investigation. We then emailed all users we believed were affected and completed a password reset for anyone who hadn&#039;t updated their password since mid-2012. This reset ensures that even if these passwords are cracked, they can&#039;t be used to access Dropbox accounts. Based on our threat monitoring and the way we secure passwords, we don&#039;t believe that any accounts have been improperly accessed. Still, as one of many precautions, we&#039;re requiring anyone who hasn&#039;t changed their password since mid-2012 to update it the next time they sign in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And what did you say you keep on Dropbox?
