I suspect this is a MUCH larger problem than people realize and not Dropbox's fault.
I've noticed in the past few months I've been getting spam to a lot of site specific emails I've used under my Gmail catch all. It's as if a spammer had access to all email addresses I've used for incoming mail. I've talked with friends and found some have had the same problem.
So where are spammers getting the email addresses we've received email from?
1. There's a vulnerability in Gmail / Google Contacts.
2. Some widely used app I've allowed to access my email has been hacked or has been selling email addresses.
3. An Android app that requires access to my email is compromised, either intentionally or unintentionally.
The least likely one I haven't mentioned is that many independent companies have sold my emails which I find very unlikely.
If you have the ability to guarantee that any device is malware free, you could make a lot of money in the security industry, as no one else in the world has such a power.

So what's causing this to happen?
