Adobe Hacked: Almost 3 Million Accounts Compromised

sl4shd0rk writes "Adobe Systems Inc. is expected to announce today that hackers broke into its network and stole source code for an as-yet undetermined number of software titles, including its ColdFusion Web application platform, and possibly its Acrobat family of products. The company said hackers also accessed nearly three million customer credit card records, and stole login data for an undetermined number of Adobe user accounts."

See... this is why I torrent cracked versions.

It's too risky to give your credit card number to a company like Adobe.

PDF Exploit?

What are the odds this attack didn't involve a pdf exploit?

Seconded

This makes me happy to have p1r4t3d versions of CS5 and CS6.
Adobe doesn't know my details and neither do the hackers, easy peasie lemon squeezie.

However, as far as the source code is concerned, Adobe assured that there is no "increased risk to customers as a result of this incident."

In other words, the risk is as bad as ever.

I'm not sure why Adobe is being so pessimistic. This might be the first time in years that anybody who could find their own ass with both hands and a map, much less do code security, has examined the source code involved...

Your post looks photoshopped. Yep, definitely. The reflections are all wrong.

Re:PDF Exploit?

[fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

If you upgrade to a suitably new version of Acrobat, you can put your flash exploits inside your exploit PDF. Totally worth the license fee.

I'm a programmer, not a cunning linguist. Taking things at face value is my specialty.

And I don't have to "climb up" on some high horse, you clod, I'm here all the time.

But we are talking about the people who wrote Flash...

Code analysis

[kav2k]

So, let me recap.
Adobe just lost the source code to one of the most exposed attack surfaces known for vulnerabilities?
That'll be one hell of a peer review.

I have a fantastic sense of humor. Which is not mutually-exclusive with being socially retarded.

As the article says. They'll also give your credit card to anyone else who asks their computer nicely for it too...
