Dropbox Is Down, Hacker Groups Claim Credit

"We are aware of an issue currently affecting the Dropbox site. We have identified the cause, which was the result of an issue that arose during routine internal maintenance, and are working to fix this as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience."
It's not just affecting the user-facing website, as my Dropbox account is currently non-responsive and not syncing any files. This menu, which usually shows options for sharing Dropbox links and folders, will not load at all:

Two different hacker groups are claiming credit for the outage, although the company claims in its statement that it's a maintenance issue, and not a hack attempt.
