Dropbox Left User Accounts Unlocked for 4 Hours

At a time when hackers are on a tear looting information willy-nilly from insecure sites on the Web, Dropbox did the unthinkable Sunday — it allowed anyone in the world to access any one of its 25 million customers’ online storage lockers — simply by typing in any password.

Dropbox, one of the most popular ways to share and sync files online, says the accounts became unlocked at 1:54pm Pacific time Sunday when a programming change introduced a bug. The company closed the hole a little less than 4 hours later.

How do you do this? Who sat there and thought that would be a good feature to set up in the first place?

Anyone who uploads sensitive stuff to Dropbox is asking for trouble. It's a sharing service, nothing more.

The 'cloud' can fuck right off.

I only use Dropbox for small files and programs that might be useful.
