Cryptomator is an open-source tool that creates encrypted vaults on a user's device, encrypting individual files and their filenames with AES-256 before they sync to services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, pCloud, Nextcloud and ownCloud. It also works offline for local drives, USB storage and network folders, and has apps for Android and iOS. Users can create a recovery key to reset a lost vault password, since Cryptomator itself cannot decrypt files or recover passwords.

Dropbox notified users that roughly 5,000 accounts were accessed without authorization between August 4 and 21, 2026, with files downloaded from about 1,500 of them. The breach traces to a single sign-on integration with Lenovo IDs, where a gap in Lenovo's email verification let attackers register accounts under victims' email addresses and log into their Dropbox accounts without needing inbox access.

Dropbox has notified some customers that attackers broke into their accounts by exploiting a flaw in Lenovo's email verification system, which let them register a fraudulent Lenovo ID tied to the victim's email address. Because Dropbox's login integration trusted Lenovo's identity assertions without independently confirming account ownership, attackers could log in without knowing the victim's Dropbox password. Dropbox says the intrusions occurred between August 4 and August 21, and Lenovo has attributed the issue to a legacy integration between its ID system and Dropbox.

Dropbox notified users that attackers gained unauthorized access to their accounts between August 4 and 21, 2026, though the company says no files were confirmed viewed or downloaded. The breach stemmed from a weakness in Lenovo's identity verification process, which let attackers register Lenovo IDs tied to victims' email addresses without owning those inboxes, then use those IDs to log into linked Dropbox accounts.
