Someone should assemble the leaked hashes and hints into a real, huge browser-based multiplayer crossword. Imagine how awesome would that be.
Given the history of life immitates xkcd, that is probably just a matter of time.

instead of Gimp, have you tried darktable, krita, mypaint or rawtherapee? It depends what you need.

He missed a group of people: any designer who did not entrust their entire professional workflow to a single, for-profit company whose best interests are in moving your workflow in ways that benefit the company over the user. Being dependent on something like Photoshop for your only income is a terrible position to be in, yet it is how I'd describe most designers today.
Not being able to use CMYK is a terrible perspective if you ever get a chance of printing something.
CMYK is not exclusive to Photoshop, is it?

"bill@microsoft.com was found. You need to change your passwords now."
example@example.com nospam@nospam.com nospam@here.com Were all found. I feel sorry for the people paying a lot of money to buy these short domain names, and finding huge amounts of spam being delivered to them because people have misused domain names that don't belong to them.
on the other hand, you get a lot of free accounts and private information. I own a domain that was once used as webmail for a couple of hundred people I guess. Looking through the catchall is awkward and invasive...

Good points, but:
>4) Always create a separate email (or an alias) while signing up for cloud services, so you can eliminate guess work during a crisis. So, instead of signing up with example@gmail.com for Adobe or someone else, use example+adobe@gmail.com (this will redirect to example@gmail.com) or rather create adobe.example@gmail.com or something (gmail is just an example). This way, you can always trace out the right service responsible for the leakage of your details whenever something goes wrong.
Doesn't stop someone just removing the + tag on the email address.
A better way is to set up a catch all on a domain... but then you're likely to get a lot more spam... (to things like mail@, contact@ and a whole bunch of firstnamelastname@ guesses)

I guess one of the main competitors to Photoshop is gimp... last time I checked it had bad support for CMYK (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMYK_support_in_The_GIM... )

Hmm. I was one of the hacked users, but googling my email doesn't come up with anything.

#50I wonder who the chief security officer of Adobe is (should be was) and why they never had sufficient security audits to look at how they did security. Why is it virtually every time there is a leak people did the encryption wrong?
