| Illegal Access to Adobe Source Code quote:
Adobe is investigating the illegal access of source code for Adobe Acrobat, ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder and other Adobe products by an unauthorized third party. Based on our findings to date, we are not aware of any specific increased risk to customers as a result of this incident.

1 recommendation | From Krebs' posting today on this ( Adobe To Announce Source Code, Customer Data Breach ): quote:
... In an interview with this publication earlier today, Adobe confirmed that the company believes that hackers accessed a source code repository sometime in mid-August 2013, after breaking into a portion of Adobe’s network that handled credit card transactions for customers. Adobe believes the attackers stole credit card and other data on approximately 2.9 million customers, and that the bad guys also accessed an as-yet-undetermined number of user names and passwords that customers use to access various parts of the Adobe customer network.
Adobe said the credit card numbers were encrypted and that the company does not believe decrypted credit card numbers left its network. Nevertheless, the company said that later today it will begin the process of notifying affected customers — which include many Revel and Creative Cloud account users — via email that they need to reset their passwords. ...
Apparently more than source code was taken...

Why would any intelligent person, or company put the source code on a computer that is connected to a network? Didn't we go through this already with military contractors and the such? |

People whop make buisness don't see physical separation as a security issue. It costs too much to justify and they will be fired for arguing over paying to make it secure.
(until this happens)
you still need to have source code on a secured intranet to work with in online collaboration and you often only run one corporate firewall between the net and your databases. The Hackers must have managed to find a route to wherever the source code was behind that server.

Probably but I dont think the code was what they were after. Unless it was to attempt to make copycats or cracks. Other then Acrobat those are server products. |
