SSL data from its servers and bypassing the cloud storage
provider's two-factor authentication, according to a paper they
published at USENIX 2013.  "These techniques are generic enough
and we believe would aid in future software development,
testing, and security research," the paper says in its abstract.
Dropbox, which claims more than 100 million users upload more
than a billion files daily, said the research didn't actually
represent a vulnerability in its servers.  "We appreciate the
contributions of these researchers and everyone who helps keep
Dropbox safe," a spokesperson said in an email reply to
