Title: Has your email password been hacked? LR and PS users probably have been!

I have and if you have an Adobe account it's highly probable that you have been too. Check it out here, pwned (https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

That might explain the massive number of spam mail I’ve received in recent months.  Constant notices that I have facebook notifications, unpaid invoices, messages from whatsapp, verification of paypal and itunes or ebay, etc.  I’ve again begun inheriting gigantic amounts of cash from unknown deceased uncles in Africa.

I delete all that junk, but I know people who have clicked on the supplied link.  They usually do that only once.

For the sake of it i just changed my password at the adobe site...

I am sure we will have a lot of incidents of breached android telephones for only 5% has the latests updates necessary.
I think those companies should give you at least 5 years of updated software. Or it should be enforced by law.

The Adobe hack was a couple of years ago and well known (just checked on your link and that is Adobe hack refered to).  I had to change all my passwords after that incident.

The "new" release is just a combination of several previous breaches put in one place.  Of course, if you didn't know about the previous breach then you should take some action now :-)
