Employee Compromised Account

We are experiencing the same issue. Our staff members mailbox was temporarily compromised, during which the attacker logged in to their Dropbox and set up a 2FA Authenticator App.
We reset the password but cannot actually log in without the 2FA or recover code - of which we have neither. The attackers session is still active, so they're sending out fraudulent emails with malicious payloads.
If we could simply terminate all active sessions this would fix the issue, but we can only do that by logging in (chicken & egg situation). We logged a ticket with Dropbox asking they do this for us, but they have not responded.
This is a disaster, and SHAME on Dropbox for allowing this kind of situation to occur. At the very least terminate all the current sessions when the password is reset! Crazy.
If ANYONE at Dropbox cares, because our clients certainly do, the ticket number is: 22934270
