Malware spread using dropbox

Hello,

 

I would like to request a takedown for the below link:

 

  • hXXps://www[.]dropbox[.]com/s/5blleusbq7lg130/Google%20Maps.rar?dl=1

Attackers are using this link to spread malware on personal computer.

Please be informed that the link was sanitized. I would like to know if is possible to block the account or block the link.

 

Thank you
