Deploy to Heroku with New Dropbox Sync

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heroku's new Dropbox Sync, just released in beta, enables you to create a deployment workflow that works for multiple situations and for every member of your team. Why is this useful? ​Makes it easy for designers to deploy changes to stylesheets and images for your app Hack your app in an emergency on the go from your mobile device Add new content to your static app by just dropping in a new file ​Getting set up for Dropbox deploys is incredibly simple, and can be done from the comfort of a browser window. Just navigate to the Code tab in Dashboard for any given app and click Connect to Dropbox: Don't have an app? Then try the following Heroku Button, which deploys a simple app built using Node and Harp: Once it's deployed, in one browser tab open the app by clicking "View," and in another click "Make your first edit", which opens the Code tab. Then just click the "Connect to Dropbox" button. Now make a change. In this app you can change the slideshow by editing index.jade in the public directory, and then click "Deploy" from the Code tab. Here are some resources to learn more: Documentation for Dropbox Sync The Heroku Button Gallery where you can find more apps to experiment on. If you really prefer Git-based deployments, we also have a beta of HTTP Git support. ​ Happy Coding! Heroku

eBay Emails All Customers: Important - eBay Password Reset Required

How to change ebay password

Emails sent to all eBay users to change password:

Subject: Important - eBay Password Reset Required

Important - eBay Password Reset Required

IMPORTANT: PASSWORD UPDATE Dear eBay Member, To help ensure customers' trust and security on eBay, I am asking all eBay users to change their passwords. Here's why: Recently, our company discovered a cyberattack on our corporate information network. This attack compromised a database containing eBay user passwords. What's important for you to know: We have no evidence that your financial information was accessed or compromised. And your password was encrypted. What I ask of you: Go to eBay and change your password. If you changed your password on May 21 or later, we do not need you to take any additional action at this time. Changing your password may be inconvenient. I realize that. We are doing everything we can to protect your data and changing your password is an extra precautionary step, in addition to the other security measures we have in place. If you have only visited eBay as a guest user, we do not have a password on file. If you used the same eBay password on any other site, I encourage you to change your password on those sites too. And if you are a PayPal user, we have no evidence that this attack affected your PayPal account or any PayPal financial information, which is encrypted and stored on a separate secure network. Here are other steps we are taking: As always, we have strong protections in place for both buyers and sellers in the event of any unauthorized activity on your account. We are applying additional security to protect our customers. We are working with law enforcement and leading security experts to aggressively investigate the matter. Here's what we know: This attack occurred between late February and early March and resulted in unauthorized access to a database of eBay users that includes customers' name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth. However, the file did not contain financial information. And, after conducting extensive testing and analysis of our systems, we have no evidence that any customer financial or credit card information was involved. We also have no indication of a significant spike in fraudulent activity on our site. We apologize for any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. As a global marketplace, nothing is more important to eBay than the security and trust of our customers. We know our customers have high expectations of us, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure online experience for you on any connected device. Devin Wenig President, eBay Marketplaces
