Hundreds of alleged Dropbox passwords leaked

Hundreds of Dropbox passwords may have been leaked online. The Next Web discovered a Reddit comment thread Monday evening that linked to a site where hundreds of usernames and passwords for the storage site were revealed in plain text. According to the thread, those responsible for the hack are asking for Bitcoin donations, but haven’t had much luck. They have raised 0.0001 bitcoin, or about $0.04. Though the cloud storage company has not yet posted anything about the hack, it did disable the listed passwords and is forcing users of those accounts to create new passwords when they next use Dropbox. The perpetrators of the hack claim they have seven million compromised passwords.
