Adobe Server abuse - hack - maleware risk - please investigate

[zagarskas]

A web developer that uses your software at work has now notified you that a file on the Adobe Stock Server server might contain maleware.

Please investigate.

Maleware scan found a file that CCX (creative cloud stock preview tool) downloaded FROM the Adobe server onto my machine. Its is masquerading as a JPEG, it's triggering a RiskWare.ExtensionMismatch because there is more than just image data in the file. I quarantined it and removed it immediately. I suspect a stock user is exploiting your system by uploading jpegs with a virus in them.

Now its up to you to secure your system.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

I trust your systems, but I still scan daily- this is the first time I have ever had an issue with Adobe security.
