why are people saying dropbox was hacked? username passwords from a 3rd party site were reused at dropbox? how is that DB's fault? confused?
@jonhoneyball @sbisson If you accept the definition of "hacking" as breaking into a computer network, that's exactly what happened.

@bazzacollins@sbisson i personally require hacking to involve finding a flaw in the security of the target. Using someone's password isnt.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@bazzacollins@sbisson simply because they didnt "break" in. They walked in using a legitimate username and password. -
@jonhoneyball@sbisson The flaw was the employee was seemingly reusing his work password on other sites. -
@bazzacollins@sbisson agreed -- now was that a flaw of DB or not? Thats the question at hand. -
@jonhoneyball@sbisson It's certainly not clear cut.

@bazzacollins@sbisson to me, thats a subtle but v important difference. -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins@sbisson isn't hacking when you access a system for which you do not have approval?
