Adobe said Wednesday it is investigating the release of 230 names, email addresses and encrypted passwords claimed to have been stolen from a company database.
The information was released on Tuesday on Pastebin by a self-proclaimed Egyptian hacker named "ViruS_HimA." The hacker, who claimed the database accessed holds more than 150,000 records, posted links to several websites hosting a text file with 230 records.
"We have seen the claim and are investigating," said Wiebke Lips, senior manager with Adobe's corporate communications. The hacker only released records with email addresses ending in "adobe.com," ".mil" and ".gov."
