Is adobesystems.com real or not

I have scoured the internet and cannot for the life of me find if the email i got is real or fake.

Top reasons to get Lightroom CC for mobile:

The Lightroom CC for mobile app allows you to powerfully edit on the go and to access any of your Lightroom photos at any time. Easily sync photos from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC on mobile to edit on the go. Capture images directly in the app with advanced features like high dynamic range to get the most out of capturing on your phone.

It then has a download link where you enter your cell phone number to have it a download link sent to your cell phone.

Please adobe answer if this is your domains

adobelanding.com

adobesystems.com

Adobe Creative Cloud <mail@rt.adobesystems.com>

Adobesystems.com is a legit Adobe domain: Whois adobesystems.com

Adobelanding.com does not seem to be from Adobe: Whois adobelanding.com  It was registered very recently (2018-03-07), which is another indicator that there's something fishy about it.

If you want to get Lightroom CC on your phone, simply go to the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. There is no reason why you should have to follow a link and enter your phone number.

Thats what I thought as well but the email comes from adobesystems.com and as you can see the download link points to adobesystems.com

and as you can tell it also actually loads to that page and then redirects to lightroom.adobelanding.com

So this is either a really sophisticated hack or once again adobe is buying up phishing domains and using them which really sucks as a user trying to figure out whats real or not.

It's dead easy to make you think that an email comes from adobesystem.com. Maybe it is legit, but that email address means nothing. I can send you an email that seems to come from d.trump@whitehouse.com if you want me to.

Yes I know but the download link actually loads to adobesystems.com and then redirects to adobelanding.com as shown in the picture. So nobody knows for sure because adobe does not list domains that it owns.

In that case it's probably legit. I don't think a hacker can (or would) let you load a legit Adobe page first, and from there redirect you to a fake page.

Mobile apps should ideally be downloaded from either the App Store (iPad & iPhone) or from Google Play Store (Android devices)

As you noticed, the email message seems to direct to a page enabling a text link to be sent but you can easily search for Lightroom CC by visiting the store directly, if you prefer.
