Adobe Breach Notification, Notifications?
'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?

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.
