Unauthorized login attempt

Hello, I've got a dropbox notification to finish sign in with code received (finish signing in to dropbox XXXXXX). I would like to know how to check if scamer/hacker did login to my account. I can not see any abnormal information in "Security" tab. I did not use dropbox password elsewhere. How the hell hacker was able to know this password. Could this be a dropbox bug?

    Hi NewSunLT - welcome to the Community and happy Friday!

    Was this an email notification sent to the email address you've associated with your Dropbox account?

    If so, does it come from one of our official Domains?

    Also, can you double check your account's Security page for any unknown web browsers or devices?

    Let me know what you find!
