Dropbox has announced via their blog that 68 million user email addresses and passwords have been exposed. Dropbox has verified that the information is legitimate. As a result, they have proactively completed a password reset for anyone who hadn’t updated their password since mid-2012. They’re contacting account owners via email and prompting password updates the next time they login.

The credentials that have been affected were from a data breach the company suffered in 2012. If you have signed up for a Dropbox prior to mid-2012 you may be affected.
