Description
In mid-2012, Dropbox suffered a data breach which exposed the stored credentials of tens of millions of their customers. In August 2016, they forced password resets for customers they believed may be at risk. A large volume of data totalling over 68 million records was subsequently traded online and included email addresses and salted hashes of passwords (half of them SHA1, half of them bcrypt).
What to do if you're affected

- 3.Check if your email appears in the breach using Have I Been Pwned
- 4.Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity
- 5.Consider using a password manager to generate unique passwords
