So yeah, about not trusting cloud storage services...

"At any rate, users may want to think about examining more secure
alternatives, encrypting their files, or simply not storing
ultra-sensitive information in Dropbox."

An employee account was exploited for this, probably a password gotten
via some other exploited site, or cracked (weak pw policy). Sad
proprietary/confidential data, let alone pii, was even publicly
accessible in any means. Why I'll keep mine on my rfc1918 ip lan, thanks.
