Dropbox email blocked due to Phishing risk

Incident Report for University of Essex IT

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.
