Hi everybody,

I know that Dropbox is quite popular in the Locus community. It seems that some skilled guys got access to Dropboxes and published the login datas:

So this is just a friendly reminder to change your passwords. ;)
Eventually set up two-step verification:

This is also available for your Google Account:

No need to get paranoid   8)

Have a nice day everybody,
berkley

Hmm ... then trust "Cloud storage". You maybe do not lost your data because of HDD failure, but ... :)

Seems legit!  ;)

I don't care about my credentials being leaked.
I care about nobody has access to my data!
