Cloud File Services Blocked Due to Redsun Exploit
A major security flaw called Redsun has been identified in Windows services used by some cloud file systems like DropBox and OneDrive. This flaw could allow an attacker to take complete control of your computer. We have blocked these services until Microsoft releases a patch for them. Hopefully this situation will not last long.
You can have DropBox stop using the effected services (and thus start working immediately) by opting out of the “DropBox for Windows” update. You can also use the web client for DropBox until the problem is fixed.
