In this paper, we analyze a dynamic threshold decryption scheme proposed by Long et al. It was claimed that the scheme allows to renew the master key, or to add/remove or update a decryption server, without leaking any information on the master key and changing other decryption server's secret keys. We present an attack to Long et al's scheme by using the fact that it renews a decryption server's secret key without changing other decryption server's secret shares.
