Dropbox two-factor authentication available to early adopters

JMH · Aug 27, 2012

A few weeks ago we wrote about a spam problem reported by Dropbox users.

Email addresses which had only ever been used with Dropbox accounts (at least so far as the account holders were aware) experienced a surge in spam, leading people to conclude that something had gone wrong at Dropbox.

As we reported at the time, the truth was actually a little more complex than that.

Some users had set the same password on multiple sites, and a compromise elsewhere led to their Dropbox accounts being unlawfully accessed and assaulted by spammers.
