Don't know why this was not announced yesterday, but on Sunday DropBox suffered a MAJOR security failure for 4 hours or so!
The failure was to do with password authentication, basically you could use "ANY" password to get access to a dropbox account.

Just double check your DropBox account! as you'll have to reconnect your machine to your account!

I guess this thread just reiterates what I always thought about "The Cloud", and that is,
There's only one person out there who is ever going to be as careful with your data as you'd ideally like, and that is you.
Any cloud computing service is never going to be able to 100% secure your data. And no doubt, when you sign up to these services, you sign up to terms and conditions that no doubt include a "all care, no responsibility" clause.You're spelling is effecting me so much.
