Dropbox denies claims of a security breach and DDoS attack, blames downtime on 'Internal Maintenance' issue.

Earlier this evening, Dropbox began experiencing service outages with hackers taking credit on Twitter a short while later. The group of hackers, @1775Sec, initially stated they would give Dropbox time to fix the issue before deciding to leak any compromised information, the group posted partial leak of supposed Dropbox user data on Pastebin.:- http://pastebin.com/WLFfTvFk

                        The partial data set appears to contain first names, last names, email addresses, and possible ID numbers for some 100+ users. So far there are no indications that any user-stored files have been compromised, or any confirmation from Dropbox that there was a breach. According to the twitter post, action was taken in honor of the one-year anniversary of the death of Aaron Swartz

Update:- The hackers have admitted that the attack was a simple DDoS and also the database was not compromised. The leaked information was apparently fake.Dropbox has gone offline due to what some are claiming is a breach of the company’s website. The company claims that the outage was caused by an issue that arose during routine maintenance.We are aware of an issue currently affecting the Dropbox site.
