Can't speak for the consumer magazine but what I can say for certain is
that they haven't read the Dropbox FAQ section and licence agreement
updates as I have, in other words its sloppy research - if none at all -
and they've just copied a story from someone else which was written
quite some time ago.

So why is it printed in a local consumer magazine which has nothing to gain by
printing hoax or bogus stories? They're not saying anybody has infiltrated
personal data, they are just saying that they could.

No hoax, this issue was addressed several months ago.

Hi all
I just read on a document in a local magazine here which talks about things
like consumer services, (including the Internet), that DropBox says in the
small print of their service agreement that everything that you put on their
servers they automatically assume ownership of the rights to. They are advising
consumers not to put items which contain highly personal data on their services
because even after you have deleted them, they still retain copies.
Drop Box apparently claim that even their own employees can't see the content
of files. But according to this article, that isn't strictly true. that isn't
absolutely true. I can't deny this has me concerned and I think I'm off now to
delete all of our personal records. At least until I find a reliable way to
encrypt them.
