If you want to check if your email or password has been released on the Internet as a result of the hack, search for your email on the site Have I Been Pwned. If you haven't changed your Dropbox password since 2012, you should do so right away-make sure it's a password you don't already use on another site.
(The first major LinkedIn hack was also in 2012.) Recognizing the scope of the password hack, last week Dropbox reset an unknown number of user passwords and released a note to users indicating they should take preventative measures to change their passwords and that they "don’t believe that any accounts have been improperly accessed." The original data hack was a result of a Dropbox employee using the same password for his LinkedIn account as for his Dropbox account. Just make sure you have a way to remember which image goes with which link. Paste the link into your spreadsheet or another location.
On Mac, you’ll need to hold the Control key while you click. Right-click the first file in your folder and select Copy Dropbox Link. What the company didn't realize at the time, though, was that user passwords were also stolen, the Guardian reports. You can also accomplish this through the web interface. In 2012, the cloud-based storage company Dropbox was hacked, resulting in a compromise of 68 million user emails.
