Dropbox investigating user reports of spam emails, sounds similar to last year’s security breach

dropbox login hackedSome members of cloud storage site Dropbox have been complaining about receiving spam messages to email addresses linked to their account, a situation reminiscent of an incident last year involving the theft of a number of emails and passwords belonging to Dropbox users.

A thread that started on the Dropbox forum on Thursday began filling with complaints from users claiming that for the last week or so inboxes of Dropbox-linked email accounts have been receiving spam. The fact that the spam appears to be arriving in different inboxes in such a tight time period will be of particular concern to Dropbox, as it could suggest an information leak or theft.

“My Dropbox specific email has been receiving spam since the 20th of February,” wrote one. “Received spam to my unique email address for Dropbox the last two days,” said another. Fake PayPal emails were mentioned in several of the posts.

Dropbox’s Sean Byrne took to the forum to reassure concerned users that the company was taking the reports seriously and investigating the cause.

“Back in July we reported that certain user email addresses had leaked and some users had received spam as a result,” Byrne wrote. “At this time, we have not seen anything to suggest this is a new issue, but remain vigilant given the recent wave of security incidents at other tech companies.”

To help with its investigation, Byrne urged users who receive spam to a Dropbox-linked account to send the message, including full headers, to [email protected].

At the time of writing, it seems the current issue is not on the scale of last July’s problem. Indeed, considering Dropbox has more than 100 million users, this may be nothing to worry about, but the company will nevertheless want to discover the cause and be sure it’s not the start of something more serious.

Following the 2012 security breach, the San Francisco-based start-up introduced new security features to better protect user accounts. A slew of big-name tech companies have suffered at the hands of hackers in recent weeks, including Microsoft, Apple and Facebook.

What is Microsoft Teams? How to use the collaboration app

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

Using Microsoft Teams affords video conferencing, real-time discussions, document sharing and editing, and more for companies and corporations. It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.

Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs
A person using a laptop that displays various Microsoft Office apps.

For the last few decades, Microsoft Word has been the de facto standard for word processors across the working world. That's finally starting to shift, and it looks like one of Google's productivity apps is the heir apparent. The company's Google Docs solution (or to be specific, the integrated word processor) is cross-platform and interoperable, automatically syncs, is easily shareable, and perhaps best of all, is free.

However, using Google Docs proves it still has a long way to go before it can match all of Word's features -- Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over 30 years, after all, and millions still use Microsoft Word. Will Google Docs' low barrier to entry and cross-platform functionality win out? Let's break down each word processor in terms of features and capabilities to help you determine which is best for your needs.
How does each word processing program compare?
To put it lightly, Microsoft Word has an incredible advantage over Google Docs in terms of raw technical capability. From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Microsoft has added new tools and options in each successive version. Most of the essential editing tools are available in Google Docs, but users who are used to Word will find it limited.
