Has anyone else been notified that adobe.com was hacked and emails/passwords were exposed on Spt 11 2018? I just got a notice today from one of my financial services. I tried to chat with Adobe, but the agent closed the chat immediately when they saw my question. Not trying to be an alarmist, just interested in finding out anyone was notified by Adobe that this happened? (It may not have made it through my junk folder.). Thanks in advance for any insights.

Don't pay attention to junk mail. It's true that Adobe's database was hacked 5 years ago but that's old news. At the time, they took corrective measures and notified all customers to change passwords.

Thanks, Nancy. It wasn't junk mail. It was a security alert notification from a paid service that monitors for risks and exposures. Every alert I've received in the past has been true and verified. I'm aware of the hack 5 years ago. This indicated it occurred in the last 60 days.
