Adobe hacked ; information about 2.9 million Adobe customers and source code stolen

Adobe is reporting that attackers compromised Adobe’s servers and accessed Adobe customer IDs, encrypted passwords, encrypted credit/debit card information and source code for several of its software.

From http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2013/10/important-customer-security-announcement.html

“…Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.

Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders. At this time, we do not believe the attackers removed decrypted credit or debit card numbers from our systems. We deeply regret that this incident occurred. We’re working diligently internally, as well as with external partners and law enforcement, to address the incident. ”
