Dropbox have denied that they have been hacked:

> Recent news articles claiming that Dropbox was hacked aren’t true. Your
stuff is safe. The usernames and passwords referenced in these articles
were stolen from unrelated services, not Dropbox. Attackers then used these
stolen credentials to try to log in to sites across the internet, including
Dropbox. We have measures in place to detect suspicious login activity and
we automatically reset passwords when it happens.

> Attacks like these are one of the reasons why we strongly encourage users
not to reuse passwords across services. For an added layer of security, we
always recommend enabling 2 step verification on your account.

If you do use Dropbox I would also strongly urge you to switch on 2 factor
authentication:
