A new class action lawsuit against Dropbox asserts the company has failed to properly protect thousands of customers from a data breach.
It is alleged that Dropbox should have done more to protect itself and its customers from a data breach that took place on or before April 24.
The recent breach comes more than a decade after a 2012 Dropbox data breach that impacted 68 million users and was called the largest hack in cloud server history.
The number of users affected by the most recent data breach is unknown, but is estimated to be at least in the hundreds of thousands, according to recent investigations.
The compromised information included user emails, usernames, phone numbers, hashed passwords, multi-factor authentication and general account settings. Dropbox data breach victims are at an increased risk of falling victim to fraud, identity theft and misuse of their information moving forward.
Dropbox disclosed in late 2022 that it suffered a separate data breach that compromised 130 code repositories from one of its GitHub organizations, allowing hackers to gain access to some source code and the personal information of some of Dropbox’s customers and employees.
