OMGosh! Did everyone see this?

Adobe was hacked and the info of 2.9 MILLION customers was compromised including encrypted credit card info :fear:

I did not receive an email saying my account was affected, but when I attempted to log in it did require me to reset my password. I'm not on Creative Cloud and don't have a credit card associated with my account, but anyone who does should keep an eye out for fraudulent charges, and everyone should definitely change their password right away even if it wasn't reset by Adobe...better safe than sorry!

this is terrible....it seems that the more we advance in technology, the more evil keeps producing
some people think I'm silly for not wanting online banking..... but I rather have it the way I do: I use a credit card with very little limit for online..that way if anything happens...not major problems...

Adobe has said that Creative Cloud customers were not affected, but is requiring a password change on all of it's products accounts.

Always a good idea to keep an eye on things for sure! No company is hack proof. I highly recommend 1Password as a good password manager. I can put it on my computer, my phone and my iPad. It can generate really strong passwords and save them so you don't forget them. It's handy dandy!
