Dropbox error allows any password for around four hours

    "Dropbox confirmed today that for some time yesterday, any users
     account was accessible without a password. The glitch was a
     programming error related to a code update and accounts were only
     vulnerable from around 1:54 pm PST to 5:46pm PST."

*Only* four hours in the middle of the day.  Nothing to worry
about then, right?  Yeah ... riiiiight.
