Adobe, a leader in security flaws, bugs and exploits,

Although I agree their plugins need to be frequently patched and about the only one people still rely on is their Flash plugin- they're only so frequently exploited because their plugins are practically installed on every machine. edit Ah, I see Krebs had a role: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/10/adobe-to-announce-source-code-customer-data-breach/

I was talking about this with a friend of mine who works for Adobe and it seems Adobe has left out a bit of information like.... These attacks have dramatically increased since the release of there new subscription based service Adobe CC. If it wasn't for the fact that peoples account information has been taken I'd be sitting here laughing at Adobe.

Pretty much this. Adobe CC is one of those "It's flawed but we need to do it because that's the way the industry is going" type-of-things. Now, I am seriously concerned about my account - it's not just personal details, it's IP linked into Adobe Story they may have been able to determine also. This is not good.

I'm a heavy Adobe Cs6 user and I refused to take up on the CC subscription as I really don't think this is the way forward (obviously Adobe Does). My main tools are Photoshop, PP, AE, Encore. And to be honest the only thing I miss is the use of Multi GPU within PP CS6 which PP-CC has. The nail in the coffin came for me when Adobe announced there wasn't going to be anymore development on Encore because DVD media is basically dead. For some maybe but my business is wedding and photography and that's the only media my customers are currently using.:bang: Have you thought about changing your subscription payment details? as for your IP I take it that yours is static then? if your using a dynamic ip address then I don't see this effecting you at all, just re-boot your router and that will assign you a new ip address.

I'm not really surprised by this. I already told my wife to notify the bank and get her card info changed

I can't say I'm surprised about any of this either. Adobe is one of the laziest major software companies I can think of - even EA isn't as lazy. The only reason Adobe isn't ruined is because nobody can compete with photoshop's abilities. There are PLENTY of photo editors out there that are technically superior to photoshop, but none of them match all of PS's features. Flash had a chance to be a great platform but adobe was too lazy to improve performance and only cared about 32 bit windows. Premier seems to be the only program Adobe hasn't completely ruined - considering videos involve thousands of frames per minute (vs just 1 "frame" for photoshop), you can't get away with poor performance, especially when Adobe's competition is overall on-par with features. A testament of Adobe's laziness is how they asked users what they want and ignored those requests. Within weeks, they were flooded with tens of thousands of requests for a linux release, which they ignored. Petitions were signed for them to make a linux release, and they still didn't want to do it. Even if only 1% of those people would actually buy the CS, that's still profitable for them. It seems to be a very common statistic for linux that the only reason some people don't switch to it is because the adobe CS doesn't work on it. Games seem to be the #1 reason.

I wish people could find something better to do than to hack and make viruses its just annoying and ruins every ones day.

That's true, on the other hand, when there's a company that's notorious for slacking and is filthy rich, I can understand why cyber criminals would target them. While I personally never owned an adobe product, I personally find it annoying these people hacked into personal accounts. Stealing source code or company funds is 1 thing, but attacking the customers is a whole other low.
