Adobe haven't said which parts of its business was hacked into.

Edit - I know one doesn't provide credit card detail with Overdrive - they're account between libraries and Overdrive and Adobe and somewhere along that line Adobe would get payment.
I don't think you have to worry about that knowing how credit card processing works. The Processor would had to have been hacked that the store uses. Kobo and Sony both use different processors and It's two separate companies that have nothing to do with each other.

Adobe DRM is not tied to a Credit Card like Nook's it the email address that is key here. As for Overdrive there is no way that would effect anything.

Those who should worry are those who buy Adobe software from their website. Their CC info could have very well been taken but those who buy ADE ebooks should not have to worry about anything but what info is on Adobe's account page.

Got the e-mail. Reset password. I can see how this would be a problem if you no longer had access to the e-mail you used to create the account. That's where I received the notice. If you go to the Adobe site directly and try to log in (and your account is one of the affected ones), it tells you that you need to reset your password and that a link for you to do so has been sent to your e-mail account. If you don't have access to it, I think you're hooped.

Yes, I doubt that Kobo and Sony would be affected. This whole thing did jog me to change my passwords on those accounts anyway, though, and I did a few others last night as well. One should change one's passwords from time to time anyway, and I hadn't done so for quite a while with the Sony and Kobo accounts.

I use a different password for each account in everything, and there are SO many. Whew!

What I was attempting to allude to (poorly, I was on the run - my bad!) was that if some of Adobe's business partners like Kobo or Sony email accounts were hacked then the possibilities for a leach further into Kobo or Sony by the hackers using those hacked accounts (and hacking others) could also be on the cards .....

I don't think they would use the same password but who I am to take a guess. I heard of CEOs using their birthdates as passwords before. As for email address for Kobo or Sony it's pretty public their email addresses.

I got the email this evening from ADE. I believe I had to use (many years ago) the same password for Sony and ADE to authorize through Borders. Does anyone think I need to call Sony before I reset the ADE password? I do have CC info in Sony but not through ADE.

Lol re the CEO passwords, probably use it based on the theory that 'it couldn't happen to them'.

Just to be clear I'm talking about Kobo's account with Adobe for use of Adobe's services (the acsm stuff), and Sony likewise. Their respective business accounts - the accounts where Kobo pays Adobe to use their DRM services.

I'm not sure if I understand, but isn't your ADE password the same as the one you use on your Sony ereader?

I think they decided in the last minute to reset everyone's passwords. I don't think they truly know how bad the breach really was. Originally they just were reset people who were affected not it seems everyone has to reset it.

Received the Adobe email and wanted to test if my password was actually "reset".

1. Downloaded several library books and Adobe Digital Editions worked fine.
2. Went to Adobe.com and tried to download a new version of Adobe Shockwave Player. That's when I was required to set up a new password.
3. Downloaded a few more library books after creating the new password. Digital Editions still worked fine.

Based on my test, Digital Editions was not effected by a password change. My computer was already "authorized" for Digital Editions and remained authorized.

I'm guessing that I probably could not have authorized a new computer with my old password.
