Uh-oh, it looks like even Dropbox is no longer safe

Spammers may have just found a new way of reaching you.

Symantec Security Response claims that spammers are abusing the popular cloud-based, file-hosting and synchronization tool Dropbox.

“Dropbox accounts have a public folder where files can be placed and made publicly available. This function is useful to spammers as it effectively turns Dropbox into a free hosting site,” said Symantec.

According to Symantec, it saw over 1,200 unique Dropbox URLs being used in spam during a 48-hour period.

Symantec said, “Since Dropbox is a widely-used service (with smartphone applications) people might view Dropbox URLs as more trustworthy and therefore more likely to open them.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
