Remember how 3 million of Adobe's customers' email, passwords and credit card information was hacked? And then it went to 38 million users? Now it's 150 million users
Things aren't getting much better for Adobe after the company endured a major security breach last month. If you believe the Sophos Naked Security blog, things may be far worse than originally thought. Adobe's initial estimate was that information on nearly 3 million user accounts was compromised during the intrusion. That number quickly ballooned up to 38 million. But according to Paul Ducklin at Naked Security, a database of Adobe user data has turned up online at a website frequented by cyber criminals. When all is said and done, Ducklin suggests Adobe's security blunder could rank among the worst in history. He says over 150 million "breached records" can be found in the database dump, which is a staggering 10GB when uncompressed. After analyzing a sample pool of records that were part of the leak, Sophos found that Adobe used some questionable encryption techniques.
