Resolved - The phishing incident involving Dropbox is being closed with emails for this remaining blocked. Any updates or changes to this will be communicated as necessary.

If you still use Dropbox please consider moving files to trusted cloud storage such as Box.

Please contact us via the IT Helpdesk for any queries or assistance related to this. Thank you.

Feb 3, 09:19 GMT
Investigating - Due to a recent series of cybersecurity attacks using Dropbox services, we've had to temporarily block all email from Dropbox.

If you collaborate with partners on Dropbox then you will need to check for notifications on Dropbox directly. Never give out or reuse your University of Essex password and never approve a multi-factor authentication prompt for non University of Essex services such as Dropbox.

This block will be reviewed as soon as Dropbox have taken action on the issues which have been reported to them.

Please check on this status alert for the latest update.
