That's only because they're not making sausage out of a lawyer ... Then everybody would want to watch.

Perhaps you should pitch it to TruTV?  Sounds like a winner.  :)

Second, while the steps you outlined are a good start, they are unfortunately just the start of the battle. You are going to want to contact the three credit card reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion, and EquiFax) to flag your credit reports.

Did the Adobe breach disclose credit card information, too?  I hadn't heard that.

cyberdiva:
My email address (well, one of them  :) ) was on the pwned list, but I don't think I'll worry about it or take any action.  The password I used is one I used only on that site, so it won't do anyone much good.  And the credit card I used when I bought something several years ago was cancelled long ago.  Thus, I think the worst anyone could do with my information is send spam by faking the pwned email address, something that's been done before and is probably not worth their time.

This (znet) gave the impression that it was:

The Znet article says:

Adobe is resetting the passwords on breached Adobe customer IDs, and users will receive an email if they are affected. The software giant is also currently notifying customers whose credit or debit card information was exposed.
