Hacked account sending spam emails to contacts to steal information

Hacked account sending spam emails to contacts to steal information

Hi, my account has been hacked and it is sending scam emails to all my contacts. The emails are sent by a noreply@dropbox email address and say that there is a document shared by me (with my full name) which contains a link to access all my contact’s information (most of them are clients and there s more than a thousand). I can’t get in contact with Dropbox support as I have a personal account. Any suggestion ?
Thank you

Hi,
I opened this urgent ticket last week (nr 23648760). My account has been hacked and is sending spam emails from a Dropbox address to all my contacts (over a thousand customers). The ticket has been prioritised but I haven’t received an update regarding its resolution. Is the problem solved ? Is there any action required on my side ?
Thank you
