About 38 Million user details have been stolen in a cyber attack on Adobe.

Not good for the Photoshoppers...

More importantly, their source code is now in the wild.

The possible downfall of the Adobe Empire? I fully expect folks at Autodesk and the like to turn their networks and products into fortified citadels now.

Kinda sucks for what this might mean to the employees of the company...

for starters they are only admitting to part of the photoshop code, well there are perfectly viable free software already that does a similar job, perhaps not as well or as quickly with a few bells and whistles missing but I dont anticipate any serious ramifications from that in the long term.

the biggest issue will probably be the loss in faith of their account security, again like An4 says they can fortify their systems tenfold but the stigma will still be there their they were hacked with to a business customer is critical.

I like how it says "Adobe Users" and not "Adobe Customers"

i'm pretty sure i've never created a password with adobe or given them my email.  but then again, i never gave google my email or other info either, and they have it anyway.
