Hi Dorothy,
Yes, I did understand what Adobe is trying to do. Like many, I imagine, I watched in frustration through the last attempt to merge the Adobe and Macromedia forums, and breathed a sigh of relief when that attempt was quietly retired. But I'd also followed the requests and done the "login and recreate your identity" thang here on the Adobe forums maybe two months ago, so I already knew Adobe was having another try at it all.
What I didn't know, assuming the e.mail was legit, was if it was being sent as a blanket mail-out to everyone with an identity on the Adobe forums, or supposedly only to the people who *hadn't* done the recent login-and-confirm process. As I said, I've already done that.
And then, I didn't know if the e.mail was really a spammer trying to exploit Adobe's efforts to get people to hand over their e.mail address and password (which, as many security commentators point out, most people tend to make the same everywhere they need to use a password on the internet. It's a powerful thing for hackers and/or thieves to have) or, as I said, legit. The fact that it went to a domain that I'd never encountered Adobe using before simply added to my suspicion.
So, did you get the e.mail yourself?
