Attention Adobe account holders…

[Roel Bus]

I was contacted by phone and email a few weeks ago, with someone who told me some of my programs in the production suite were not up to date…. The email looked legit enough at first, but the message made no sense.
I replied with a “don’t contact me again” and haven’t heard anything since.

Updates are done automatically, so it didn’t make any sense to me, so this message solidified to me that someone or ones are trying to access peoples adobe information.

Thanks Tom.

It appears that only the forum user database at connectusers.com (one of Adobe sites) was breached.

I.e. Adobe users not using connectusers.com and not using the same credentials on other sites should be safe.

In addition, it looks like the hacker doesn’t intend to share the stolen credentials with anyone, his primary goal with to put Adobe on notice for not using stronger defense and protection on that particular server.
