Adobe Breach Compromised Over 38 Million Users, Photoshop Source Code 145

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday October 29, 2013 @05:52PM from the downside-to-massive-reach dept.

rjmarvin writes "Adobe's investigation into the massive data breach they were hit with this past August has revealed that over 38 million active users, not to mention inactive accounts, had their user IDs and passwords pilfered by hackers. An Adobe spokesperson confirmed the number, along with the theft of Adobe Photoshop source code. The initial report earlier this month put the extent of the breach at only 3 million credit card accounts, plus stolen Adobe Acrobat, Reader and ColdFusion source code."

The untold story is that the hackers tried to give back the source code but Adobe said NO GIVE BACKS!

Given the level of bloat in Photoshop and Acrobat, I'm amazed the hackers had enough disk space and time to download it.

Right?
I got dozens of different notices. They had links to places where I could change my password. Lots of different places.
I could forward you a few if you want.

95% of the codebase is the secret bug-generator. They just made sure not to pull down that external repository.

The source is actually only 370 KB. The rest comes from C++ template instantiation.

Oh come on, they probably accelerated their download with the Adobe Download Manager.

You think that's bad? GIMP puts all of their source and even the bug tracker on publicly accessible web servers.
