"In early October, Adobe announced that 2.9 million customers were hit in a major data breach. As it turns out, the breach went much further, affecting 38 million users, according to a report from Naked Security.\nThe attackers gained access to users' customer IDs, names, encrypted passwords, encrypted debit and credit card numbers and other personal data.\nSee also: Is Your Password Really Protecting You?\n\"So far, our investigation has confirmed that the attackers obtained access to Adobe IDs and (what were at the time valid), encrypted passwords for approximately 38 million active users,\" said Adobe spokesperson Heather Edell.\nAdobe initially believed the hackers accessed source code from Adobe Reader, Acrobat and ColdFusion. New data shows that a portion of source code for its Photoshop software was stolen, too.\nAdobe set up a help page for affected users, notified them and reset their passwords. The company advises users to change their passwords entirely not only for Adobe products, but also for other sites where they used the same password.\nHave something to add to this story?
