[Hidden-tech] Adobe Security Alert

[Becky Sweger]

I got an online notification to change my Adobe password, but my husband
got a letter saying that his credit card info had been potentially
compromised and an offer for a free year of credit monitoring. He can't
remember buying anything from Adobe, but he must have at some point.

Did you get the same letter?

Since it's free, there doesn't seem to be a downside to signing up for the
monitoring service. Agreed that the lack of information about the actual
security break was disappointing.

Best,
Becky
