This 'spoof' email has been sent out to our email list - three times.
The spam email is using our profile - tweaked with small changes - to create fraudulent email addresses (yahoo, outlook) and asking email recipients to click on the 'dropbox' link to download files. People are ringing/emailing asking for confirmation that the email is from us - and asking 'why doesn't the link work?'...but by then they have logged in with their username and password.
Our IT people say - it is too late for us to do anything - as our email addresses were harvested. All we can do is apologise? Suggest they put this spam email address on their junk filter?
But my question, is what can dropbox do to prevent future spam attacks - coming from the dropbox system?
