That's good news, since these are phishing sites that create fake sites to get login details. Just in case, it might still be a good security measure to change your password, if the email is somewhat similar to your own one.

Hi @Hando Veskioja, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

This isn't an official Dropbox domain. Did you attempt to login using your Dropbox credentials, or any other?

 

Have you tried to change your Dropbox password since then?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hi,

 

I tried to log in, but actually I used wrong e-mail address. So I didn't enter my dropbox e-mail or password there.

 

Edited later - I did change my dropbox password, just in case.

Hi, actually it was my work e-mail (so totally different) but all passwords have now been reset :slightly_smiling_face:

Excellent news, I'd also recommend forwarding that email to abuse@dropbox.com for the team there to be aware of this site.
