I wonder if any of those that are using the new subscribe system got hacked.

I have an account at Adobe that I had to create some time ago for reasons I no longer remember. They've already sent me email advising me to change my password, which I did. I've never actually bought anything from them so at least I don't have to worry about them getting credit card information.

I can vouch for receiving the email. They say unencrypted credit card numbers have not been hacked, that they have notified banks, and to keep an eye out for any unusual charges...

Oh hell, here's the letter:

If I've registered there it wasn't with my main yahoo email. I've only downloaded reader and flash (the freeware ones not pro versions)

I've got norton so I'm not too worried.

All together now:

IN NORTON WE TRUST!!!!



Actually I did get that adobe message in my yahoo mail. However I know I've never bought anything from them but I don't know why I got a log in id for them......

Should I still login to change the password if I don't even know why I signed up there???

That's what I was thinking. Norton was good before Peter Norton sold it. That was a long time ago.

Yoda, can you even remember your adobe password? If so I would change it. Can't hurt anything.
