Title is a bit inflammatory. No proof, simply a few short lists of usernames and passwords that (at the time of release) were valid to login to Dropbox.

Did they come from Dropbox? Not necessarily. Not everyone uses a unique username+password combination for each site.

A more accurate title would be something like: Dropbox accounts potentially compromised

By "not everyone" you actually mean "no one except a few hackers that have the means to do so by using an installed program".
I saw this come across twitter and just used the title of the pastebin. Thought it would be of interest to HN, looks like I was right.
