Is your drop box password hacked or safe ?

Hackers claim to have stolen a database of almost 7 million Dropbox log-in credentials, but the company says its service was not hacked and that unrelated websites are the data source.

Dropbox is a popular cloud-based storage service.

Alert Priority High‏

The incident is somewhat similar to the dumping of 5 million Gmail addresses and passwords online in September.

The first data dump appeared recently in an anonymous post on Pastebin.com and contained 400
username and password pairs.

The author said that it’s only the “first teaser” of 6,937,081 hacked Dropbox accounts and asked for Bitcoin donations. The user also claimed to have access to photos, videos and other files from the compromised accounts. The account details have been pasted have been uploaded to pastebin.

What dropbox has to say

Dropbox, denies that a hack has taken place.
“Dropbox has not been hacked. These usernames and passwords were unfortunately stolen from other services and used in attempts to log in to Dropbox accounts,” it said.
“We'd previously detected these attacks and the vast majority of the passwords posted have been expired for some time now. All other remaining passwords have expired as well.”

As a precaution, if you have a Dropbox account you should change your password immediately.
You should also ensure you have two-step (or two-factor) authentication enabled. If your password is compromised, such as in this breach, the second step means your account should remain safe.

Ebay passwords stolen.Reset your password now

eBay confirms a security breach, and a password change recommended: SSO Alert Priority High

eBay has confirmed that an attack on its systems earlier this year compromised a database containing encrypted passwords, customer names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers and date of birth information.

It has stated that the database did not contain any financial information and that it has undertaken testing, finding no evidence of unauthorised activity for eBay users. It added that data stored with PayPal (owned by eBay) such as your credit card information, is encrypted and stored separately on a secure network.

eBay has advised it will begin contacting users to change their passwords.

A website post has offered "eBay user details for sale", following the revelation of a cyber attack aimed at the online marketplace.

Regardless of whether you receive notification from eBay, if you use eBay, you should change your password immediately.

If you use the same password to log in on any other website, you should change those as well, choosing something unique and strong.
