Well, so much for the Creative Cloud gambit. Brian Krebs reports that a week ago he'd discovered a 40GB treasure trove of source code while researching a major breach. Also part of that trove of source code: Creative Cloud customer data, including credit cards, though that was encrypted and might still be safe.
First issue: Now it's a lot easier for nefarious actors to slip a few lines of code into software made to look like it was cracked, then post it on torrents and sit while the hijacked software proliferates, then executes said code.
Second issue: Trust. Dude, it was your plan to move people to the Creative Cloud, and you couldn't keep hackers away from it?
I'm not saying that this is a reason to stay away from Creative Cloud, but I'm glad that I stayed away.
You can just imagine the lawsuits coming their way.
