Dropbox admits to security compromise, promises to bring in new security measures

 . Dropbox has issued an official statement today regarding a security compromise that happened over the past few weeks. According to the company, a number of user emails were leaked which has caused a plague of spam emails in the inbox of these users. The hacker used a stolen password to access an employee account and steal a company document with user emails on it.
In the weeks that followed, users started to receive tons of spam emails and concluded that it was the same email as their Dropbox account email. They began to raise the issue in the forum and Dropbox finally admitted to the breach today.
