I got an email from Adobe to say I'd been hacked. Good thing I don't use the same password for nearly all my online accounts, then! I thought. Ahem :) David *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity

Thanks for the information, Tammy. Amazing that Adobe did not let us know. After resetting my password I logged in to verify that my information (product registrations) was still there. I was using Mozilla Nightly 64-bit. It told me I had no products registered. I contacted Adobe support,

Getting logins and passwords for a retail site doesn't necessarily allow you to get credit card information. Many sites display only the last four digits. On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 7:05 PM, Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net) syed.hos...@aeris.net wrote: I would also add that the Adobe Cloud

What different mechanisms? Except for TurboTax at Costco, I've been buying all my software online for over ten years. Most of it's not available through other channels. Credit card fraud's annoying since I have to get a new card and number two or three times a year, but online purchases are less

Thanks. Read that in the news. They haven't contacted me, so fingers crossed. umm, is this a good time to bring up the new subscription licensing model and its inherent weaknesses (or should I say the increased threat of harm through attack and incompetent data management practices) ?
