Back in 2012, Dropbox admitted someone hacked into the cloud storage service and stole log-in details, but it didn’t reveal the extent of the breach. Well, apparently, it was a huge one. Motherboard has obtained a number of files containing 60 millio…

The HTC 10 is by far the best phone I’ve ever owned. It has a colourful, sharp screen that at 5.2-inches is big without verging into unwieldy phablet territory, while the all-metal design gives it a premium feel. It’s fast too, thanks to a Snapdragon 820 chip and largely untouched version of Android. Its camera excels in low light, the battery easily gets me through a day (extended Pokémon Go sessions not withstanding), and the powerful headphone amp is the best available on a mainstream device. I even like its slightly portly dimensions.
But would I say the HTC 10 is an exciting device? No. If anything, I’d say it’s rather dull.
It’s a problem that nearly all the big smartphone manufacturers face. That last great bastion of smartphone quality held by Apple—the camera—was matched, if not beaten by nearly all of this year’s flagship devices. Even the OnePlus 3, a phone with a premium design and specs, which costs a mere £330, stands toe-to-toe with phones costing twice as much, if not more. Cameras, screens, batteries, operating systems—they’re largely the same across devices, and they’re all very good. That’s a great thing for consumers, but not so much for smartphone makers used to charging a premium for the basics. It takes a special something to stand out.

Despite what Dropbox has been saying, this guy has some pretty compelling evidence that the file hosting service was indeed compromised.
Earlier today, Motherboard reported on what had been rumoured for some time, namely that Dropbox had been hacked. Not just a little bit hacked and not in that “someone has cobbled together a list of credentials that work on Dropbox” hacked either, but proper hacked to the tune of 68 million records.

Anyone that bought the game In Case Of Emergency, Release Raptor can now get a refund through Steam. The maker of the game is no longer selling the game but, according to this article, the game will be offered for free soon. The decision to offer refunds and make the game free was because of “extremely poor sales.”
A new announcement from earlier this morning explained more details of what’s happening. The game is going to continue to be available through Steam but completely free, though it looks as if there’s currently no way to download or install the game. Arcen had originally planned to refund everyone who had bought it during its few days on sale, but now you’ll need to go through the normal Steam refund process. Refunds are however available to anyone, regardless of how long you’ve played it for.

Dropbox hurriedly warned its users last week to change their passwords if their accounts dated back prior to mid-2012. We now know why: the cloud-based storage service suffered a data breach that’s said to have affected more than 68 million accounts compromised during a hack that took place roughly four years ago.
The company had previously admitted that it was hit by a hack attack, but it’s only now that the scale of the operation has seemingly come to light.
Tech site Motherboard reported—citing “sources in the database trading community”—that it had obtained four files, totalling 5GB in size, which apparently contained e-mail addresses and hashed passwords for 68,680,741 Dropbox users.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from International Business Times UK: An independent scientist has confirmed that the paper by scientists at the NASA Eagleworks Laboratories on achieving thrust using highly controversial space propulsion technology EmDrive has passed peer review, and will soon be published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Dr Jose Rodal posted on the NASA Spaceflight forum — in a now-deleted comment — that the new paper will be entitled “Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio Frequency Cavity in Vacuum” and is authored by “Harold White, Paul March, Lawrence, Vera, Sylvester, Brady and Bailey.” Rodal also revealed that the paper will be published in the AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power, a prominent journal published by the AIAA, which is one of the world’s largest technical societies dedicated to aerospace innovations. Although Eagleworks engineer Paul March has posted several updates on the ongoing research to the NASA Spaceflight forum showing that repeated tests conducted on the EmDrive in a vacuum successfully yielded thrust results that could not be explained by external interference, those in the international scientific community who doubt the feasibility of the technology have long believed real results of thrust by Eagleworks would never see the light of day.
