Dropbox users' email addresses targeted by spam?

I don't see any confirmation in the forum that the "e-mail addresses of users" was leaked by Dropbox. It also appears to be mainly Euro-centric accounts. So while there is certainly a problem and it is very likely originating with Dropbox, the title is quite misleading and overly condemning given the known facts.

I've been personally affected by this leak. All the e-mail addresses that I am now receiving spam on have only been used for Dropbox purposes and nothing else. In addition this was over a year ago. So - email only used for dropbox, last transferred over the web a year ago: where else would it have been leaked from?
