Did this happen on September 23?

Doesn't affect your Adobe account, but might have briefly made them vulnerable to some industrial espionage. Pretty embarassing as well.

What is a PgP key?

Rose,

Not that I understand much more than this, it is an encryption key for one side of the transmission.

Your email system has been automatically doing that with such a key.

What does this mean to the computer illiterate?

Adobe in secured encrypted emails usually inhouse would be discussing some trade secrets. That door was opened. We do not know if an offending party took advantage.

The mistake was cleaned up pretty quickly and it is over with.....if no one took advantage.

I think the clean up would be a new key.

It is only a fun yawn.
