Hackers Claim to Hold 7 Million Dropbox Passwords for Ransom!





http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Hackers are threatening a major breach in Dropbox security, claiming to have stolen the login details of almost 7 million users, and promising to release more password details if they're paid a Bitcoin ransom. However, Dropbox has denied it has been hacked, saying the passwords were stolen from third-party services. An entry on Pastebin, posted on October 13 at 4:10 p.m. CDT, shows a list of 400 emails and matching plain text passwords, claimed to be part of a large-scale Dropbox hack. The login details for the 400 email addresses, each one starting with the letter B, have been labelled as a "first teaser...just to get things going". The perpetrators are also promising to release more details if they're paid for the information. More Bitcoin = more accounts published on Pastebin. As more BTC is donated, More pastebin pastes will appear. It is unclear how the account details were accessed and, indeed, whether or not they are actually legitimate. However, the hackers claim to have accessed details from 6,937,081 individual accounts and are threatening to release photos, videos and other files. http://cbsn.ws/1sHt4wP
