"But until I don't hear a confirmation from Dropbox I am going and assume that all this never really happened and it's just a prank."

Various big-name dropbox people are likely aware of this thread now based on their quick responses to previous threads here at HN. The fact that they've said nothing here is virtually an admission that there was a problem. It only takes a few seconds to bang out a 'this claim has no merit' post if it indeed does have no merit.

The question is, are they working on some sort of official statement to make (which would have to be exactly worded and thus I can understand the lag time) or are they ducking down and hoping this will just blow over?

IMO they absolutely need to address this very soon, and not just as a one line email that promises it'll never happen again.

Yes, I agree with all you write now. It just seemed such a weird issue though. Hard to imagine how something like this can happen accidentally.
