Tell HN: Beware of Dropbox Upgrade Mail
Hi,
If you just received a localized and authentic looking email from dropbox (oldversion@dropboxmail.com) informing you that you're running an old version of dropbox on your computer, including the name of your computer in it, DO NOT OPEN IT!
It's probably the deployment of a botnet, some malware or similar.
