Hi guys, Colleagues, Forumists,
This is important your personal data @ Adobe could be out in the wild! You might have to change your passwords and data on there.
i received a mail today from Evernote, stating a important security breach at Adobe ( read bellow)
It seems ligit , as it was send from an official evernote email address (
team@mail.evernote.com) , i dit a tracert on that URL and email address and also a "whois", it's a ligit email address from evernote.
It's fantastic that a completely different company has to tell us, "hey guys there's a problem" please check it, our service can be affected by that do !..
Thanks Adobe for NOT LETTING US KNOW, you had a problem that affects our personal data, ( visa, user rights etc etc), really thank you...
Fantastic service guys, really thank you!
For European Users, The European commission states 3 things: 1 - Every product sold in EU has to comply with EU law ( Quality, service, protection,) 2- Privacy law states that all personal data collected has to be protected the appropriate way. 3- a contract is only vallid when it has been signed by the contract writer and taker ( signed as in by hand ).
So 2 and 3 are important here 2 -> not complied, 3-> Accepting terms and conditions online by clicking accept is in EU not a valid contract.

There were published reports recently of a security breach at Adobe that may have exposed private information, including Adobe passwords, email addresses and passwords hints of millions of users. The list of compromised Adobe accounts has been uploaded to the web. We compared this list to our user email addresses and found that the email address you used to register for an Evernote account is on the list of exposed Adobe accounts.
Evernote has not been compromised and is not connected to this incident, but if you used the same password for Adobe and Evernote, then you should change your Evernote password now.
Here are some additional tips for keeping your information in Evernote, and other websites, safe:
•
Avoid using simple passwords based on dictionary words
•
Never use the same password on multiple sites or services
•
Never click on ‘reset password’ requests in emails — instead go directly to the service
For additional security, you can set up Two-Step Verification for your Evernote account in Evernote Web Settings. For more information about Two-Step Verification, read our blog post:
