A
dobe Systems, Inc.’s recent security breach exposed the usernames and passwords of 150 million accounts all over the world.
Gustavus Technology Services was able to verify that over 450 Gustavus usernames were included in the list of compromised Adobe ID accounts. We strongly encourage users to NOT use their Gustavus password on any other website. If you believe you have, or are uncertain, please change your Gustavus password immediately.
The New York Times has a great article highlighting the importance of unique passwords and explaining how people may have inadvertently shown hackers passwords for bank accounts, email and even home garage door codes on the Adobe website. Please see:
