I think someone got the password to my Dropbox account and changed the associated password and e-mail account.  Is there anything I can do?

 

Thanks

 

edit: I see someone else had the same problem, I'll contact support.  Thanks

Thanks Mark.  I'm sorry, in my haste I forgot to add that they apparently changed the email associated with the account.  Any way to handle that situation?
