Popular cloud storage firm Dropbox has been hacked, with over 68m users’ email addresses and passwords dumped on to the internet. The attack took place during 2012. At the time Dropbox reported a collection of user’s email addresses had been stolen. It did not report that passwords had been stolen as well. The dump of passwords came to light when the database was picked up by security notification service Leakbase, which sent it to Motherboard. The independent security researcher and operator of the Have I been pwned? data leak database, Troy Hunt, verified the data discovering both his account details and that of his wife. Hunt said: “There is no doubt whatsoever that the data breach contains legitimate Dropbox passwords, you simply can’t fabricate this sort of thing.” Dropbox sent out notifications last week to all users who had not changed their passwords since 2012. The company had around 100m customers at the time, meaning the data dump represents over

STOCKHOLM – More than 300 wild reindeer have been killed by lightning in central Norway. The Norwegian Environment Agency has released eerie images showing a jumble of reindeer carcasses scattered across a small area on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The agency says 323 animals were killed, including 70 calves, in the lightning storm Friday. Agency spokesman Kjartan Knutsen told The Associated Press it’s not uncommon for reindeer or other wildlife to be killed by lightning strikes but this was an unusually deadly event. “We have not heard about such numbers before,” he said Monday. He said reindeer tend to stay very close to each other in bad weather, which could explain how so many were killed at once. “I don’t know if there were several lightning strikes,” he said. “But it happened in one moment.” Knutsen said the agency is now discussing what to do with the dead animals. Normally, they are just left where they fall to let nature take its course, he said. Thousan

Tyra Banks is no stranger to building a personal brand, turning her supermodel fame into a successful television show, "America's Next Top Model," and all the made-up catchphrases (smize, booty tooch, etc.) that go with it. Now, Banks is taking what she's learned and imparting her wisdom to the business school elite: She's set to co-teach a course all about branding yourself to Stanford MBA students. The Wall Street Journal reports that the course, called Project You: Building and Extending your Personal Brand, will be offered for two weeks next May and be open to 25 graduate students, and will advise enrollees "how to harness all forms of old and new media to showcase their strengths." The official course guide offers further clarification about what students can expect to learn from Professor Banks (who is lecturing alongside former television exec Allison Kluger): What is a personal brand and how can it be unleashed as a valuable, competitive adva

Anti-corruption groups in Nigeria have begged U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to help speed the return of billions of dollars looted from the country’s treasury by local officials. Kerry met Wednesday with Adetokunbo Mumuni, director of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, and other activists before ending his latest Africa visit.

After learning about the beheading, Duterte grouped the militants among “the enemies of the state” he wanted dead, ordering government troops: “Drug dealers, destroy them. Abu Sayyaf, destroy them.
