Adobes source code was parked on hackers unprotected server: Hackers capitalize on other people’s mistakes. But they make their own as well.Case in point: A massive breach of Adobe Systems’ network was discovered after the source code of numerous products, including the Web application development platform ColdFusion, sat parked on a hacker’s unprotected Web server open to the Internet.The breach, which also encompassed 2.9 million encrypted customer credit card records, was announced by Adobe on Oct. 3. Adobe had already been investigating a breach when Alex Holden, chief information security officer of Hold Security, independently found what turned out to be the company’s source code on a hacking gang’s server.Adobe’s source code “was hidden, but it was not cleverly hidden,” Holden said.
