[AusNOG] Stay Smart, is not so Smart

[Matt Perkins]

It's worth Googling "dropbox and Security" They have had there moments 
over the years. (not that it's a bad service i like it )

The bit that's missing is personal data (there email addresses and 
names) were unencrypted. How they sent it not relevant.

If it was encrypted they could have sent it via Morse via ground waves, 
Semaphore or carrier pigeon and it would have still remained secure.
