Did you get a letter from adobe regarding a security incident?

Hello Adobe forum participants. This may be my first and last posting. I recently received a letter from Adobe systems regarding a security breach. The letter said that my info was caught up in the digital snatch and grab opperation. The letter basically states that i should do the cover-your-financial-*** dance by monitoring my accounts and obtaining a free credit report. It also directed me to some good info provided by the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.gov/idtheft
The most disturbing part of the letter came from it's recomendation that i activate my "complimentary membership" with protectmyid.com. Luckily before hitting return after filling out the first page of the sign-up page, I decided to google this company and see what was being said about them and their service.
Long story made short, do some research before give away your sensitive info. I've never done business with this company, I have no personal knowledge of any wrong doing on their behalf but if you read the testimonials provided by people who signed up for the id-protection service you may find yourself pumping the breaks as I did.
Why Adobe would recomend that we use this service is a mystery to me, and yes, I asked.
I used the chat option under customer service and asked,
"Can you please tell me why Adobe would direct me to a Company with questionable credentials to resolve the recent security problems you've been experience?"
The person, whom I'm sure was providing me with scripted answers said this;
"I would request you to write us an email to [email protected] and the relevant team will check on this and contact you back via confirmation email."
Fair enough. The guy was scencere, empathetic, and very professional. I'll be sending that email to customer servicee as soon as i finnish this post.
The bottom line is, I love the Adobe brand. The Creative cloud is an awsome service for a complete novice like me. Their are definate risks associated with doing business online but the only way to minumize them is to either discontinue your online commerce, or research the hell out of anyone claiming to be able to provide a service in exchange for sensitive finacial information. I need all three of my pennys. what about you?

  • Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf".

    Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf" dated 15 Dec 2012 9:20 AM.

    Look everyone that comes here with a support problems has gone through all the normal channels, around and  round in circles with no one seeming to be interested. They've called every phone number, every email address they can find. They have been put on hold and bounced fifty times to another operator only to be hung up on. If Adobe would bring back support to main land and have people that know what's going on instead of having people that people can barely understand read from scripts. Scripted information only applies about 10 % of the time. I'm just giving people an alternative. after they have torn their hair out going the normal route.  If they had been able to get a solution they wouldn't be coming here for help.
    There should be a forum set up just for people to air these issues and Adobe employees forced to man it. Then we wouldn't have to have such a Bad attitude. Right now Adobe's Support reputation is worse than Intuit's which did have the absolutely worse on the Planet. Now they are number 2.
    You know it yourself that Adobe's support is absolutely worse than terible. However to prevent me from being banned from the forums I will simply will provide the adobecare email address from now on
    So let's sweep it under the rug.

    Many have reported that they got the update it fixed the reboot bug, and that they are seeing improvement in the phones functionality in general. Some people have reported that they have heard that the update is causing more problems. What I have yet to see (And I might have simply missed them) is reports from users that this has actually happened to them. So I started this Thread to see if we can't get a straight answer from the people that are actually using the phone (Because it seems VZW and HTC don't' seem to know or want to tell us right now) 
    So hear is what Im asking 
    1) Did you get the Update Yes, I requested it at 7:50pm, 7/8/11
    2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update Yes
    3) How is the performance of the phone now  Much better, I no longer have data drops so I no longer need to turn on and off Airplane mode to get data back
    4) Has the latest update brought any new problems Zilch, none, nada, nope
    Hopefully this clears up any confusion and we can all get a clear idea of weather this update is a worth bothering with.

  • Can you get values back from a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters?

    Can you get values back from calling a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters/variables? I call the SP via a SQL statement from a script either in a WF or DF.
    I thought I read some reference that DI could not get the values from OUTPUT parameters but I could not find it again (don't know if it is in any of the documentation or referred to in a forum.
    I did try a couple of tests but it did not reutrn any values via OUTPUT. But before I give up I thought I'd see if you could and maybe I needed to change something.

    This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I'll point out that, given that you're resorting to a SQL script in the first place, there's no reason you can't also turn the output parameters into a regular result or record set. (The following uses T-SQL, although I think it's pretty generic.)
    declare @param1 int, param2 varchar(100), @return int;
    exec @return = proc @param1 = @param1 output, @param2 = @param2 output;
    select @param1 as param1, @param2 as param2;
    That is, to get from output parameters to a "regular" output from the SQL script isn't much of a leap...

  • Getting help/attention from Adobe

    Hey, does anyone have experience or advice on how best to make sure Adobe's aware of problems and maybe get responses>
    I'm aware of 3 possible ways:
    1) Post in these forums. You'll probably get a response from other helpful and knowledgeable users, so this is great for cases where I'm making a mistake and there's a better way to do it, or if there's a bug but it has workarounds. You probably won't get a response from Adobe, and I don't know how carefully Adobe reads these messages (if at all), so I don't know if it's a good way to point out bugs.
    2) Fill out the "feature request/bug report" form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Adobe will read it, but won't respond, so it's a good way to report bugs, but you won't get any advice on workarounds.
    3) Adobe support. Evidently (I haven't tried it yet) it's $39 per incident. I'm a little dismayed there's no free support at all, but I guess I could have figured that out before I bought, so caveat emptor.
    So far I've been doing both #1 and #2, but I'm not sure how helpful this is in terms of getting Adobe to actually fix the bugs. I know with some software companies, the metric they listen to loudest when deciding what bugs to prioritize fixing is what bugs are generating real support calls, so maybe #3 would help too.
    On the other hand, I'm loathe to pay $39 to have Adobe tell me something is a bug that hasn't been fixed and I'm no better off for having called. (You don't get your money back in that case, do you? I can also think of examples of software companies that charge for support but not if the thing you needed help with is a result of a demonstrable bug.)
    Anyway, I'd love to hear what experiences you all have had with this or what advice you have.

    Lee Jay, thanks. I like your classification of the 3 categories, and I guess a good chunk of the subtlety here is figuring out which one of the 3 a given problem falls into.
    Naturally #2 is always a possibility -- I'm fairly new to Lightroom, but knowledgeable about computers and software in general and usually pretty good about figuring out the right way to do something if it does exist. Assuming I'm doing things correctly and the application is acting up, I'd be a lot better off if it falls into #1 but I fear it might be #3.
    It's that darn #3 category that makes software troubleshooting so hard... (I'm a software developer myself, so I know this one from the other side too.)
    Any advice on where Adobe's paid support fits into there? I guess they'd be most helpful at resolving problems of type #2 or confirming it's not #2. And, ideally, chasing the difference between #1 and #3 farther than forum volunteers probably want to.

    Hello,i want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(
    I already tried every step on the support site, but Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still don't work. So this is an S.O.S. here...

    I've repaired many a 150:30 error using this method. First make sure your account is an Administrator type.
    When you type sudo <space> and drag LicenseRecover.py into the Terminal window, this is what you should see when you press Enter.
    Type in your admin password if any, and let the script run and finish.

  • Who got this brilliant idea when you want to pick up a contact to first cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee  from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Who got this brilliant idea and change thing that way :  when you want to pick up a contact on your iphone, you first have to cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.     

  • I am not getting proper guidelines from apple regarding the querry

    I am not getting proper guidelines from apple regarding the querry, really iPhone is headache for me as I am unable to use the same from last 10 days

    If you would like help from here, you'll have to say what the problem is.  "Unable to use" and "not getting proper guidelines... regarding the query" tells nothing about your problem other than your phone isn't working.
    Also, judging by your other post where you are looking for an alternative to the iPhone, do you want a non-Apple phone or do you want your problem fixed.  No sense having people waste their time helping you fix this one if are going to get another phone.
