ACHTUNG: Adobe gehackt – 2.9 Millionen Kunden betroffen

Heute Morgen trudelte eine E-Mail von Adobe bei mir ein. Darin teilt Adobe mit, dass sie einen Angriff auf ihre Infrastruktur festgestellt haben.

Dabei wurden rund 2.9 Millionen Kunden-Konten kompromittiert.  Die Benutzer werden aufgefordert ihre Passwörter zu ändern.

Offenbar wurden Kreditkartendaten sowie E-Mail Adressen ausgespäht. Weitere Informationen gibt Adobe in einem Blog Post.

Die E-Mail von Adobe lautet:

Fazit:

Das sieht nach einem massiven Einbruch aus und ist eine schwere Schlappe für Adobe. Der Konzern versucht seit der Einführung der Creative Cloud seine Benutzer vom Abo-Modell zu überzeugen und braucht dazu die Angaben seiner Benutzer. Wenn diese nun geklaut wurden wirft das kein gutes Licht auf Adobe.
