Title: Adobe hack attack affected 38 million accounts

Adobe hack attack affected 38 million accounts (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57609753-83/adobe-hack-attack-affected-38-million-accounts/)

What does everyone think? I feel like there's been so many high profile hacks lately that people have lost interest. The internet wasn't made for sensitive information...

This is just another reason in a long list to never trust companies that DRM the shit out of their software, if customers could even pay with Bitcoins and just store their files offline like anything else then everything would be much more secure and it would be down to the owner of the computer and not the company to keep that kind of thing safe.

I wouldn't be surprised to see more companies getting attacked like this in the future, we've already seen that the Playstation Network can be hacked too.

Now I only trust google for their security. So far they are having the best anti hack system. Am I right?

Google might be their next target :)

When you're greedy, have a ton of money but don't want to spend it for security, this is what happens.

This also proves what I've always thought that these DRM based companies also datafarm peoples' personal information as well.

They have the money to hire the best people in the world, they have an incentive program for people finding vulnerabilities, and they do have the user best interests in first place, well, right next to the customer, of course. :)
