According to the news, Adobe exposed 7.5 million records of Customer Data this month.

When would Adobe think it would be appropriate to notify it's customers?

 

Cheers,

    Still, Adobe is quiet. Even if they did not expose my password or credit card; this is serious...

    Hi, Adobe wrote about this here:

     

    https://theblog.adobe.com/security-update/

     

    Note that it was a brief vulnerability (est. 7 days) that a security researcher discovered in an Adobe prototype development environment by proactively running extensive online scans/probes, not necessarily that the data was found, copied or stolen by any malicious hacker. So at this time, anyway, there does not appear to be abuse of that data confirmed.

     

    Regardless, always be aware of possible phishing emails from any company, regardless of source/sender... There are plenty of big email list exposures out there which have been positively confirmed to have been widely stolen and abused, sold, etc.
