Adobe Security Breach

Adobe recently became victims of a massive security breach on their website, affecting nearly 3 million users. They released a statement regarding what they are doing and what customers should do in turn. If you have an Adobe account or use any of Adobe’s products, please take note:

“Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders. At this time, we do not believe the attackers removed decrypted credit or debit card numbers from our systems. We deeply regret that this incident occurred. We’re working diligently internally, as well as with external partners and law enforcement, to address the incident.”

They are currently in the process of resetting passwords and notifying customers to help limit the damage. Read their statement for more information.
