Hackers stole 70 million passwords from Dropbox after an employee reused a password

Curated by Paul Helmick

I’m a Technology CEO and Experienced Entrepreneur. I love helping people use technology to grow their business.

Login details of nearly 70 million user details from Dropbox have been leaked online
An employee re-using a password he had use on another site was to blame
Last week Dropbox forced users who had not changed their passwords since 2012 then to change them now
This reinforces the lesson, never, ever use the same password twice
Use www.lastpass.com or some sort of password manager to help with this.
