I know that I was part of the 2014 Adobe breach. That was because the software wanted me to get an account for some reason and I have never used it. So … they only got my email address and a password, probably a password I’ve used in a few places and by now have two factor on.
The massive trove of data is about 832GB worth of such data, possibly covering tons of people in and or around the company in some way.
While I do not really feel like taking the article fully apart, especially since no group name is mentioned, the article does claim that if this confirmed that it will be the second time this year.
You may want to peruse the Adobe search to see if anything jumps out at you in regards to older coverage.
While Cybernews may have looked at some of the data, we’ll have to see what happens.
At the time of writing, you can check sites like Have I Been Pwned or Xposed, but at least perusing HIBP shows no recent entry for Adobe.
I think we should treat this as unconfirmed, and we’ll try to keep our eyes and ears out on these things to see if anything comes out.
The Cybernews article on this is: Was Adobe Suite breached? This is what we know for your reading. Its lengthy, and has a lot of great info that people might want to peruse.
Again, I’m not going to take this apart, but we’ll try to keep our ears out on this.
Thanks for listening! Thanks for reading! Please stay as safe as possible.

This is a concern.
I luckilly don’t use the adobe account on account it keeps the sync program running and I can’t make it die.
I don’t need adobe account for what I do anyway.
Its a concern though, I mean adobe certainly keep themselve updated on the client side.
