Dropbox investigates possible hacking

Earlier this week, it was reported that many users of the Dropbox service received spam messages to their mailboxes associated with a Dropbox account. Spam was received both by those users whose mail "lit up" on other services, and those who created a new box exclusively for working with Dropbox. A few days ago, the company announced its intention to get more information about the incident, and even hired a team of independent experts to investigate.

Despite the fact that spam was sent to a large number of users in Europe, the letters came in the user's native language. This fact indicates a well-coordinated and well-thought-out attack. Spam messages contained links to a wide variety of domains, but most of them were created quite recently. Russian DNS is used, domain registration was carried out in Bizcn .

Almost all these messages are united by a single topic - online casino advertising. A few days after the start of the investigation, Dropbox administration stated that no evidence of any hacking of its servers had been found yet, and it considers the attack unrelated to Dropbox.

However, the administration is investigating further, saying that it will do everything possible to clarify the situation. According to the management of the service, such investigations may take a long time, so it will take several more days to get a full picture of what happened.

There is no official report yet, it will be published as soon as the investigation is completed.
