Adobe reported what it called a “sophisticated” cyberattack on its network where hackers gained unauthorized access to confidential customer information including IDs and encrypted passwords. The hack affects some 2.9 million customers worldwide, the company estimates. Information accessed in the attack includes names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and order information. Adobe does not believe the criminals removed decrypted credit or debit card numbers from company systems, however. This security breach extended to Adobe source code for numerous products such as Acrobat, ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder, and other company products, Adobe said. According to a blog entry, Adobe believes that the two security violations are related. In addition to contacting and assisting law enforcement, Adobe says it’s resetting relevant customer passwords. Customers whose user ID or passwords were affected will be notified via email and instructed to change their passwords. Adobe also advises changing passwords on any website where customers may have used the same user ID and password as their Adobe account.

 

Quick run-down:

 

-2.9 million customers worldwide have been affected

-Hackers have customer's IDs, encrypted passwords, credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and order information

-Affected programs are as followed: Acrobat, ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder, and other products (let's just assume everything Adobe)

-Affected customers will be notified via an email with instructions on changing their password

 

Ouch, sticky situation Adobe is in right now. Hopefully everything pans out in Adobe's favor and the hacker's don't deal too much damage. And doesn't Linus Media Group use Adobe products? @LinusTech should probably reset everything right now.

And this is why people pirate Adobe products. Not only are they overpriced, but they are overpriced with laughable security.

Isn't it a bit unfair that only US customers get that 1 year complimentary service while everyone else that lives elsewhere gets a "screw you" from adobe.
