It is upsetting to many Dropbox users after hearing that 7 million accounts were compromised by a hacker posting login information to the public(pastebin). It has been reported that passwords are available as plaintext in pastebin. This type of attack even worried me, as Dropbox is such a widely used service by both businesses and personal users. Evidently, this is the third or fourth pitfall for Dropbox. This update from techly, disturbs many users who relied on the Dropbox service. Over the weekend, Edward Snowden said that Dropbox was “hostile to privacy,” urging users to only use encrypted methods for storing and sharing files. How will Dropbox take measures to protect the data of the users who have relied on it? From this news it is clear that the Dropbox file-sharing service is insecure, even if they claim the email addresses and passwords were stolen through third party services.
Because the login details have been hacked, it is now very easy for hackers to obtain user data. What is even more shocking is that if Dropbox had used an algorithm that is unbreakable, this type of activity could have been avoided. This should incite Dropbox users to cancel their accounts and use a more secured service. When it comes to IT management, it is very apparent to protect data with the best security. For file sharing and data backup solutions, security becomes crucial.
