7 million Dropbox username/password pairs apparently leaked [Updated]

Popular online locker service Dropbox appears to have been hacked. A series of posts have been made to Pastebin allegedly containing login credentials for hundreds of Dropbox accounts. The poster claims that 6,937,081 account credentials in total have been compromised.

reddit users who tested some of the leaked credentials have confirmed that at least some of them work. Dropbox seems to have bulk reset all the accounts listed in the Pastebin postings, though thus far passwords for other accounts do not appear to have been reset.

The hackers claim that they will release more username/password pairs if they receive donations to their Bitcoin address.
