New ask Hacker News story: Dropbox Data Breach

Dropbox Data Breach 9 by hmate9 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I received a security notice from Dropbox today saying that my account was accessed without authorization between August 4 and August 21, 2026, and that Dropbox believes files in the account were viewed or downloaded. According to the email, Dropbox uses Lenovo as an identity provider, allowing users to authenticate to Dropbox with a verified Lenovo ID. Dropbox says: an issue with Lenovo’s email verification process allowed an unauthorized party to register a Lenovo ID using your email address and then use that Lenovo ID to log into the Dropbox account associated with that email address. So, as I understand it, the attack path was roughly: 1. Attacker registers a Lenovo ID using the victim’s email address. 2. Lenovo incorrectly treats the email address as verified. 3. Dropbox trusts the Lenovo identity. 4. Attacker gets access to the Dropbox account associated with that email address. Dropbox says it has since expired all ...

Ask HN: What are your biggest problems and fixes with multisession engineering? 2 by top_rooster | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have run into a lot of issues using multiple sessions at once to build things, and I really want to hear from those that have figured a good amount out.

For example, I often want to have agents stop at certain points, but fail to get a mechanism that works.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Do you run A/B Tests?

Ask HN: Do you run A/B Tests? 2 by hackeryogi | 0 comments on Hacker News. I was introduced to ridiculously simplified A/B testing while working at BigTech. I wanted to understand the landscape of running A/B tests outside of BigTech. As an example, I recently worked with a Fintech startup that was not running true A/Bs via randomised user buckets, but they did have a setup to test out a feature with a particular cohort before a larger rollout. So, do you do A/B testing or feature flagging in any way? If yes, can you also mention * Daily Active Users / Monthly Active users? Trying to understand at what “scale” does A/B testing make sense for organisations * What’s the infrastructure and plumbing look like? Inhouse setup (add a flag to a user profile or if conditions in code?) or do you pay for a SaaS that helps? * What’s the overhead like? Do you feel it’s worth it? If you are not using A/B testing, why not? Is it the initial investment or the followup maintenance that is the heada...
