two-factor authentication (2FA) and SMS received from sender other than Dropbox
To access my Dropbox, I use double authentication, two-factor authentication (2FA): I receive a text message on my mobile phone with a temporary code to enter. Normally the sender of the sms is named Dropbox, but today I receive the momentary code from an unknown number (like+39 351... or +44 7468....). Can I consider it safe? Or must the Sender of the SMS message be only and exclusively DROPBOX?
