That was in 2012. Old news.
Also, Dropbox was using decent password storage methods so the risk was limited.
You should be more concerned with the Lowes, Targets, Home Depots, OMBs, IRSs of the world that don't practice good security and may have access to lots of your information.
There's certainly nothing unique to the cloud as far as security issues are concerned. With good security practices I think users can use the cloud very successfully while minimizing their risk. It's not the issue that some would make it out to be.
