Really sorry to hear this Stephen. I hope you aren't put in too much of a hardship because of it.

Not that it is a huge difference, but was the card you were using a credit card or a debit card? I used my business account bank card (debit) for my account and I'd hate to find it all drained from something like this.

I was going to post this earlier, but I didn't want to raise anyone's paranoia levels.

I found a forum at anon news dot org where people were discussing a file called users.tar.gz. basically a 9Gb zip file with everyone's info. The email addresses were plaintext listed next to encrypted password info. Not sure what else was in it, as this was just from a copy paste from one of the anonymous users.

The discussion was about how to list them properly to feed them into a brute force decrypting program. Others were talking about how they could download the file from that "bay" torrent site.

Anyway, I'm really sorry to hear this has affected you, and I would just caution everyone out there that this sort of disbursement of information could possibly last a while as that info is out there and people can choose to use it and decrypt it whenever they like. Could be tomorrow or a year from now.

Okay, I just got my letter a few days ago and was going to get one of credit monitoring services this weekend, but too late, my card was already obviously out in the wild. About $1000 of charges to Electronic Arts and comic stores (insert stereotypical hacker joke here). Not fun for a starving filmmaker literally in the process of launching a Kickstarter in a couple of days L

I would advise all who had a credit card number with Adobe no matter if you got a letter or not – to cancel the card. It’s a hassle but not as much as hassle as this.

Needless to say, this is a bummer – but let me example prevent others here from suffering the same.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
