With the recent hacking of Adobe accounts, I received an official looking email asking me to reset my password for my Adobe account. How do I know the email is geniune? Thanks.

Don't click on any links in the email. If desired, type in the address for Adobe's site manually and change your password.

I got it too and was surprised because I do not update adobe every time they interrupt me for another update.
And because I do not recall ever having set up a PW for adobe. I have the usual stuff necessary to view youtube, etc, PDFs, etc, but I have not paid for any of their products yet. Last year I did download a trial version of whatever their Photo Shop Elements but decided I needed to get it off my MBA because of the ongoing problems with that computer and not enough storage/memory.
Another thing that has me wondering about this particular email from Adobe today is that a google search did not produce as the first few results any announcement FROM Adobe itself. The link to this thread was the last google hit on the page after I put in "adobe october 5 password hack" or something like that in the google search box.
So anyone know about this?
I am thinking right now that due to the lack of an Adobe announcement via google search that the email itself is bogus, but that doesn't answer the question then begged: HOW did the hacker get my email address?
I received one of these emails as well, and it was a legit email...I called Adobe on it and they confirmed that it was a legit email
