Update: it’s now going mobile.

Not long ago, Adobe issued a warning that their systems were hacked. The number of the users who were hacked was originally projected at 3 million and then grew to a 38 million. Now, apparently users who use their Facebook login info to log into Adobe’s services are being issued with warnings that they should probably change their password–which essentially means that both accounts have been compromised because they use the same login information. Facebook has been monitoring this and issued warnings to lots of their users.

If you’re one of those folks, we strongly recommend that you start changing your passwords.

Despite the massive hack, CNN is reporting that the company’s stock is just fine. In fact, it’s up.
