2011: Password bug

In June 2011, Dropbox experienced a major security breach due to a bug that allowed any password to access any account for four hours, provided a hacker had access to the email or username. During those four hours, all Dropbox accounts were vulnerable.

2012: Password breach

In 2012, Dropbox usernames and passwords were stolen from other sites, leading to a major breach. Dropbox didn't disclose the full extent until 2016, revealing that 68 million users were compromised, making it one of the largest cloud storage and internet breaches in history.

2018: Data shared without consent

In 2018, a Harvard study used anonymized data from Dropbox without users' consent to collaborate with research teams. Although the data was anonymized, sharing user data with third parties without permission is a huge breach of trust, transparency, and your online privacy.

2022: Phishing attack

In November 2022, a phishing attack stole a Dropbox employee’s credentials by impersonating GitHub. The attack also stole and leaked emails and passwords from numerous employees online. GitHub, not Dropbox, detected the attack.
