Two developers allegedly hacked cloud storage provider Dropbox, bypassing the two-factor authentication and intercepting SSL data from the company’s servers, according to a paper published at USENIX 2013. Dhiru Kholia, from the Openwall open source project, and Przemyslaw Wegrzyn, from consulting agency CodePainters, managed to hack the cloud storage provider through reverse-engineering.
