I was personally affected by the breach. My bank, who were competent enough deserve all the credit - Actually, they called me and let me know that someone from a different country had tried to withdraw a huge sum of money from my card and they found it suspicious and thus blocked the transaction (and the card). They were kind enough to issue me a replacement card in just 5 days.
At first I wasn't sure if I was negligent and entered my card details on some scam site instead of Adobe's, but later I just realized after double checking that only the night before the breach was announced had I upgraded to CS 6 from CS 5.5 through Adobe's official store. Next time, I plan to use a temporary card for one-off purchases.

- drbawb 13y agoI really need to switch to a bank that offers temporary cards. My card was also stolen recently, a European company that sells VoIP gear (webcams, USB phones, etc.) tried to charge my card for $25 four times in a row, with the transactions spaced out over 4 seconds. I'm surprised the bank caught it. Had it not been for the repeat charges, they might have let it slide. That type of purchase fits my spending profile relatively well. (I've ordered electronics from outside the US on numerous occasions.)
