Am I affected by the latest security breach? Are you considering to inform people about that? It's a mayor break of trust.

As this is a user to user forum you should ask if Adobe intends to inform users.

 

Security breaches and privacy exposures need to be handled according to the law and European law is very strict on how such exposures need to be handled. So be sure that Adobe is taking all steps to prove that such an exposure can't be happening anymore. If you personally are informed may depend on the investigation. 

 

Just to make sure you understand: I'm not an Adobe employee and I doubt that Adobe will respond to requests like yours on this forum. You need to follow the official channels of communication used by Adobe.

Also 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.
