I know this was because of Adobe for sure because I (co-incidentally) used a brand new, fresh, unique e-mail address just for Adobe, and that email was released recently in the dump that the hackers provided.&lt;p&gt;Luckily the malicious transaction was declined by my bank and they blocked the card for me and they told me that someone had compromised my card details and issued me with a replacement card free of charge.&lt;p&gt;I only keep posting this in every thread[1][2] about Adobe because I genuinely want other Adobe customers to understand the gravity of the situation and disable their compromised credit card and get it replaced by a new one as soon as possible.&lt;p&gt;[1]&lt;a href=&quot;https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6668013&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=6668013&lt;/a&gt;
