>> Hello Hidden-Techies
>>         Did anyone else receive notification of a security alert from Adobe? I got a letter in today's mail saying they were notifying me of "an incident that involved information about me." I tried calling their support number to get more information, but the wait time was more than 2 hours so I went to the web link and read the FAQ page about it. It's hard for me to tell exactly what happened or how serious it is.
>>         I changed my adobe password, as they recommended. Is there something else I should do? On a scale of 1 to 10, how worried should I be?
>> 
>>         So, I guess this "incident" is an addendum to our recent thread about how awful the sign-up procedure is for Creative Cloud.
>>         Thanks, as always, for any info or advice you might have.
