The software company, known for Photoshop and other programs, said cyber attackers were able to access user information, including account IDs, encrypted passwords as well as credit and debit card numbers. The hackers were able to erase data of some Adobe users.
The hackers also illegally accessed source codes for numerous Adobe products. That’s like stealing the secret formula for Coca-Cola.
