Adobe Customer data hacked - serious risks exist

It was finally disclosed by Adobe that 2.9 million customer records were compromised - along with other suspected software codes.    Of course there are laws in place that are supposed to prompt these disclosures ASAP - but they are routinuely ignored.

"Many companies believe that it is worth the risk of not reporting since reporting could mean a loss of consumer confidence in the brand," 

Of particular concern is the pervasive influence that Adobe plays in HTML code - and that it's very popular products could now provide a new attack vector to deliver exploits and viruses.  Of course customer identities have been compromised as well - but that seems the least of anyone's concerns.
