Important Customer Security Announcement

Cyber attacks are one of the unfortunate realities of doing business today. Given the profile and widespread use of many of our products, Adobe has attracted increasing attention from cyber attackers. Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.

Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders. At this time, we do not believe the attackers removed decrypted credit or debit card numbers from our systems. We deeply regret that this incident occurred.

Canary in a Data Center, maybe a time to break down the security, IT, and facility barriers

Fast Company has a post on the Canary intelligent home security system.  But, my first thought is this would be great in a data center, colocation, or server closet.  The biggest problem would be it threatens the silos of security, facilities, and IT operations teams in their specialized systems.

I know one of you out there will take the leap and order one of these for your server area.

BTW, I have a home video recording system and it is so much better than a typical security system approach.
