Adobe Breach Impacted At Least 38 Million Users
Summary: Adobe confirmed that attackers obtained Adobe IDs and encrypted passwords for approximately 38 million active users in the breach first announced October 3, 2013, and said it had reset those passwords and completed email notification of the affected users. AnonNews.org also posted a 2.56 GB file named ph1.tar.gz that appeared to be Adobe Photoshop source code, and Adobe spokesperson Heather Edell said a portion of Photoshop source code was accessed by the attackers.
Bottom line: The confirmed count of 38 million active users sits alongside an AnonNews file reported to contain more than 150 million username and hashed password pairs, and the stolen data was already circulating online while some customers said they had not heard from Adobe.
