Hello _____, | |
If you're reading this it's because we've found your e-mail address | |
in the recent Adobe user information leak. Adobe did not keep their | |
passwords in plaintext, but they were encrypted with a weak algorithm | |
and the password hints were also leaked so it is just a matter of | |
time until nefarious parties will be able to obtain those passwords | |
and potentially use them for malicious purposes. | |
We were not compromised, but we did check our records against the | |
data that Adobe lost. | |
Affected email: ____@____.com | |
Going forward you ought to: | |
1) Change your Adobe password. | |
2) Change your password everywhere it was the same are your Adobe | |
password. This is especially true if you used the same password for | |
anything DreamHost related. | |
3) Remember that sharing passwords between services is a poor idea and | |
should be avoided at all costs. Consider using some kind of password | |
vault technology like keepass, lastpass, onepassword, or something similar. | |
As of right now this doesn't affect anything related to your account, | |
but in the interests of keeping our customers safe we wanted to let | |
you know that this could be a potential issue for you. | |
Thanks, | |
The Happy DreamHost Security Team |
