 'UPDATE:'  We are receiving reports that notifications are being sent out. Thank you to the readers that posted some examples. It seems that the notifications are targeted towards certain services.     It goes without saying but we shall say it  'anyways' , we recommend changing any Adobe passwords. It reminds me of another life as a Submarine Hunter. If you recall the World War II movies well enough you can imagine when the Sub captain says "Send up the oil slick and debris" ... Then the Destroyer Captain "Ah... we got em' look at that!"

Even if I'm  'SURE'  I got it all, I'm never 100% positive and always suspicious. It makes me wonder how bad this will impact (to quote Mr Mike Poor) "The Intertubes" as Flash is EVERYWHERE :)

------ Initial Post ------

A few of us have noticed that there have been no eNotifications from Adobe for account resets or any sort of direct notice. Has any of our readers had 'any' sort of notice/notification or resets sent?

My story is: that I got the URL of the Breach and notice from a Security Bulletin and it led to Adobe. (keeping the name out for now, but it is reputable; sec bulletin source that is) Then when I went to sign in Adobe came up and requested the password to be reset. It was theirs, but I'm not so sure about the configuration of the reset system they have or it's possible passwords of some have been changed (not sure what they use config wise or what encryption algorithm for the hashed PW) I say this because after the reset a few times, I never got an email from them. I tweeted this awhile ago, but did all the PW reset tries yesterday.

**Update on my email/reset Password with Adobe issue"
Their reset system has never hit my cloud spam system before, I felt like an idiot finding it there after making a stink. I do have to admit that the spam catching it this time and never before says something.

From what I've seen, our creative cloud users were receiving "Password Reset" emails/breach notifications AFTER they tried logging into the system for the first time since the announcement.

I received the following from "Reader Store" today.
I don't recall having been a customer of theirs:
