Adobe Security Alert to change your password.

As Richard says, it is real. There are two different emails so read carefully which one you have. Some people have had credit card numbers stolen as well as passwords and if you are one of them you should get an email from Adobe warning you. The data is supposed to be encrypted, but personally I would cancel the card.

To be safe though you must not click the URL link in the email until you have checked it. Hover your mouse pointer over the URL first and it will tell you where the link will take you. Carefully check what the link says I.e Adobe.com. If in any doubt I would email Adobe support to check BEFORE entering any password information on line.

Unfortunately this one seems to be real Jean so I would change your password for Adobe and make sure you are not using the old one for any other sites. If you Google this subject there is plenty of info and chat on the net about it. Even BBC News have covered it. It is really hard to spot the genuine from the scam though !

Is this genuine? I have received an alert from Adobe as someone has hacked into their system. They have changed my passord and they advise changing passwords if similar to that which you use for Adobe.
