As news breaks of Dropbox apparently falling victim to hackers in October, here's what actually happened.
Like many organizations, Dropbox uses GitHub to host several private repositories. At the start of October, the Dropbox security team became aware of a phishing campaign apparently targeting staff. The phishing email purported to originate from the code integration and delivery platform, CircleCI; a company used by Dropbox for specific internal code deployments."While our systems automatically quarantined some of these emails, others landed in Dropboxers’ inboxes," the report says.
These used a realistic-looking template directing the recipients to what appeared to be a CircleCI login page where they were directed to enter GitHub account credentials.
On October 14, GitHub alerted Dropbox to suspicious behavior beginning the previous day. The threat access was disabled the same day and Dropbox security teams"took immediate action to coordinate the rotation of all exposed developer credentials and determine what customer data, if any, was accessed or stolen."
