Where can I report a website that is selling cracked versions of Adobe software?

Hi everyone,
I’d like to ask where I can seriously report a website where cracked versions of Adobe Acrobat are being sold, and people are buying them without realizing how risky this is. The site hosts sellers who offer these versions, and no action seems to be taken against them.

Is there a specific department at Adobe where reports are taken seriously and real action is taken? I previously submitted a report through the automated reporting link, but nothing changed—on the contrary, the number of sellers and their sales keeps increasing

    Keep in mind it’s not always easy (or even possible) to stop such sites, especially if they are located in countries where IP is not very well respected and enforced.

    The platform on which these copies are being sold is based in Singapore. I reported the issue to the platform’s administration and provided full evidence, but no action was taken at all.

    I also reported the matter to Adobe, and no action has been taken either. The problem is that the file being sold as Adobe Acrobat is actually a fully cracked and compromised file. I truly do not understand why no one is taking any action.

    Instead, it seems that this has become a more sophisticated method of compromising users’ devices by selling cracked software through what appear to be legitimate platforms
