Adobe was hacked and lost customer records and part of the source code that is in many of their products.
According to USA Today, the tech company had 2.9 million customer accounts stolen, along with a partial source code.
Eduard Goodman, chief privacy officer at risk management firm IDentity Theft 911, said, "The Adobe breach shows that everyone is fair game. The hackers went in and stole private consumer information in the form of card information, even if it was encrypted, and they stole intellectual property. Those are two valuable assets."
Adobe is only the latest company to suffer breaches in their security. LexisNexis, Dunn & Bradstreet, and Kroll Background America were also recent casualties.
Reuters reports that the stolen source code is worrisome according to security experts. They believe that the hackers could use the information to look for flaws to exploit to attack anyone who uses Adobe software, which is a lot of people.
The attack occurred two weeks ago and Adobe's Chief Security Officer Brad Arkin said, "Based on our findings to date, we are not aware of any specific increased risk to customers as a result of this incident."
The U.S. Department of Homeland security notes that Adobe customers should be on the lookout for fraud.
