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
