Twitter Account Abused Due to Stolen Passwords at Adobe

By Wilcowings @WilcoWings
This week, someone notified me about sending Russian messages via Twitter. Had to do a password reset via email. Now I understand what happened. I used the same credentials on Twitter as on my Adobe account.
"Millions accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, encrypted password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and many were quickly resolved back to plain text. The unencrypted hints also disclosed much about the passwords adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe customers already faced."
Thank you Adobe for the safe storage of my credentials! Twitter account abused due to stolen passwords at Adobe
