A few hundred Dropbox usernames and passwords have leaked on Reddit, possibly as part of a much larger breach involving millions of accounts. Time to change your passwords.
The leak, which contains hundreds of accounts with email addresses starting with the letter "b", come from an anonymous user taking Bitcoin donations for the full leak, according to The Next Web. We're not sure how old these credentials are or where they came from—it's possible they came from a third-party app that links to Dropbox rather than Dropbox itself—but no matter what, it's time to do the same old song and dance we're pretty used to by now.
So, if you use Dropbox, be sure to change your password now (and make it strong), as well as your password on any other site that used the same credentials. While you're at it, you should definitely enable two-factor authentication to keep ne'er-do-wells out of your account (even if your password is leaked).
If your account was one of the "B" accounts already leaked, you should get a notification from Dropbox to reset your account. But in the meantime, we recommend everyone change their passwords. Hit the link to read more.
