    From the Forbes article on the data leak:

     

    "... little of this appears to be new data. Instead, the researchers say, it’s more a case of compiled records from thousands of previous breaches and data leaks."

     

    Basically, there wasn't a breach last week. The data contained in the MOAB leak is from multiple sources. In the case of Dropbox, it likely contains the data from the 2012 Dropbox hack.
