Sure. But here's the thing: people don't usually forgive things like this. People heard about an issue that potentially affected their accounts through the media before they heard it from Dropbox - that's the disappointing bit.
On top of not letting something like this happen (where were their tests?), they should be diligent in talking about something like this immediately so that people know they're not being lied to, ever, and that they can trust the service with their data. By not doing so, we have to wonder about how many other bugs do we not know/hear about that might affect our accounts too?
As long as this average doesn't spike I am very happy with Dropbox overall. They have enabled me to do so much and to work better.
