Number of Hacked Adobe Accounts Rises to 150 Million

Last month, Adobe announced hackers stole some customers account information.  Adobe reset the stolen passwords and sent email alerts to affected customers. If you have an Adobe account, please take the following actions to protect your personal information:

1. Change your Adobe password
2. Change similar passwords.  If you use the same password for other accounts, or create new passwords using a similar pattern, change all of the passwords.
3. Use strong passwords.
4. Watch your credit and debit card statements.  If you see suspicious activity, contact your bank and credit card companies immediately.
5. Be alert for phishing messages that ask you to download a file, click a link, or share personal information.

The estimated number of hacked Adobe accounts continues to rise.  Adobe originally estimated 2.9 million accounts had been hacked.  Adobe later revised the number to 38 million.  This past week, the estimate has risen to more than 150 million.  Even if Adobe has not alerted you that your account was hacked, you should follow the above steps to protect your personal information.
