Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen

Usernames and encrypted passwords from around 38 million active Adobe users were stolen as part of a cyberattack first detailed earlier this month, reports Krebs on Security. Though Adobe originally reported that information on 2.9 million customers had been compromised, it now tells Krebs that the number is far higher and that it has been resetting the passwords and notifying the owners for all of them. The initial 2.9 million accounts also had credit card information associated with them, but Adobe didn't detail whether that was the case for the over 35 million other accounts compromised.

Source code for Photoshop, Acrobat, and more was taken too

In addition to the account details, portions of the source code for Photoshop, Acrobat, Reader, and ColdFusion were also taken, reports Krebs. Some of the source code and account information has reportedly been posted online since the data breach. The source code for Photoshop appears to be unencrypted, while the account passwords are protected by encrypted. Krebs attempted to crack the encryption, but says that it was unable to.

Adobe is reportedly offering a year of credit monitoring to all customers whose credit cards were accessed in the breach ( though ironically enough, it's offering that service through Experian, which Krebs reported last week had fallen victim to a data breach as well). With Adobe recently beginning a transition to subscription software, more and more of its customers will have their credit cards tied to their accounts — though it's likely that users invested in earlier software haven't made that transition yet. Even so, with Adobe only reporting the number of active accounts that were compromised, it appears the breach could be even bigger still.

It looks like Hot Toys has crafted something of a treasure for toy collectors who dug this year’s CG animated Space Pirate Captain Harlock feature. The toymaker has released new images of not only its 1/6 scale Captain Harlock packed with multiple hands, a sword, a blaster and Mr. Bird — but also a deluxe version of the figure sitting atop the huge Throne of Arcadia.

While the figure is based on Toei’s CG feature version of Leiji Matsumoto’s classic manga/anime hero, the core elements of his design are all present and accounted for. It’s pretty hard to mess up a somber longhaired dude with a facial scar and an eyepatch, after all.

With an estimated release date of September 2014, it’ll be awhile before fans can get their hands on Harlock and/or his honkin’ chair, which is probably just enough time to hunt down the necessary booty to afford one. The standard figure is going for about $250, with the Thorne of Arcadia version retailing for $420.

By Nathan Grayson on October 29th, 2013 at 11:00 am.

In recent years I’ve become something of a rhythm game junkie, but I have to say, the core of the genre is starting to feel a bit rotten – or at least stale. By and large, it’s the same basic idea: play along to your music. Run, jump, fight, or dodge while backgrounds morph, dance, and burst with color. I’m hardly burnt out on games like Soundodger, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Audiosurf, and the like, but I do think there’s room for something different, something more. That in mind, I really like where Sentris is headed. It straddles the line between pulsating musical playground and full-on musical production, but in a way that doesn’t rope off those with un-blistered fingers or un-whatever-happens-when-you-play-a-vuvuzela-ed lips. See what it’s all about in video form below.

Watch the video all the way through, if you can. It doesn’t do the best job of explaining, so it takes some time for the idea to fully click. I think I like it, though. Slowly, methodically solve puzzles, experiment, and stitch together your own sonic tapestry in the process. Simple, but with potential for a big payoff.

Here’s the quick elevator pitch, via Sentris’ Kickstarter page:

“I designed Sentris to help everybody feel the thrill of making music. There’s no way to fake this experience. As you solve puzzles you are literally creating your own song. To play, you drop musical building blocks into a rotating circle. The individual blocks stack up to create a song that is uniquely yours. It’s deceptively simple – easy to learn, hard to master. The concept is very new and experimental, and I believe it’s a step forward for music games.”

I think it could make for a nice way to relax, tune out the ceaseless madness of modern life, and – despite that – still come away having created something. That sounds like a magnificent way to unwind, if you ask me.

Sentris is seeking $50,000, and it’s already about halfway there. What do you think of it? Is it music to your ears? Or, I suppose more importantly, to your wallet?

6. San Francisco 49ers

Even Wall Street is envious of San Francisco's ability to grind the lower middle class under their heel. Pure physicality was enough to dispatch the Rams, Texans, Titans and Cardinals before routing the NFL's version of a homeless guy in the Jaguars (fittingly, in a Jags "home game" that was played 4,000 miles from Jacksonville). The Niners failed their physical tests against Seattle and Indy, though, so their post-bye week dates with Carolina and New Orleans carry a ton of intrigue.

7. Green Bay Packers

Thanks to a confluence of talent, schematic advances and rule changes, NFL quarterback play is at an all-time apex...but nobody nowhere no way no how does it like Aaron Rodgers. The Pack sit at #7 with James Jones, Randall Cobb, Clay Matthews and Nick Perry all out with injury. Once they get back...

9. Carolina Panthers

Don't look now, but after a 1-3 start the Panthers have been playing some high-quality ball. Offensive coordinator Mike Shula is finally figuring out what to do with Cam Newton, and their defensive front is handing out weekly beatings. They're working around weak links on the OL and in the secondary, but their strengths could land them a Wild Card while preventing the Saints from resting on their laurels in the South.

10. New England Patriots

How on Earth is this Patriots squad 6-2? Five of their victories have come by a combined 15 points, but wins are wins and their mark is a good bet to hold up in yet another failtastic edition of the AFC East. Maybe a few weeks with Amendola and Gronk will replace Old Brady with the Brady of Old, but right now the Pats' pass game is too discombobulated to hang with the big boys.

11. Detroit Lions

At this point, saying Matt Stafford is a meh QB without Calvin Johnson is like saying Great Britain would have been conquered 20 times over if it wasn't an island. The English Channel, like Megatron, simply IS, and the result is royal weddings in London and a likely playoff berth in Detroit.

12. San Diego Chargers

Verily, the Lord said, "Go forth, and multiply." And Rivers begat, and begat, and begat. And then the Lord spake to Mike McCoy and saith, "Plague not mine good and faithful Rivers with seven-step drops and slow-developing routes, for these art the mark of the Beast." And McCoy heard the word of the Lord, and didst shorten the drops and quicken the reads. And completions didst multiply across the Land, and the Lord was well pleased.

13. Baltimore Ravens

The bye week came at a good time for Baltimore. With any luck, they've gotten Ray Rice's hip healed up while squaring away their blocking issues and getting Lardarius Webb's head right after an awful (by his standards) start to the season. Unfortunately, a week off won't fix their lack of weapons in the pass game, but if their other issues are sorted and the Suggs/Dumervil tandem keeps it up, they'll stay in the Wild Card hunt and punish Cincinnati should the Bengals fall asleep at the switch.

14. Dallas Cowboys

Halfway through the season, halfway to 8-8, halfway between great and terrible, halfway to getting blown out at home by the Panthers or Niners in the Wild Card round, halfway to bringing in Lovie Smith to fix the defense while squandering Romo's last few seasons with whatever idiotic OC Lovie will favor. Same as it ever was.

15. Miami Dolphins

Mike Wallace is already threatening to join the Alvin Harper All-Stars as one of the league's worst big-money free agent wideouts. Ryan Tannehill is threatening to join the David Carr All-Stars as a QB who could be ruined by absolutely relentless pressure. And Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is threatening GM Jeff Ireland with...well, nothing, apparently, since Ross signed him to a surreptitious contract extension. Care for a do-over, Steve?

Week 8 Debrief: Diva WRs, Kelly under fire

Calvin Johnson's record setting day, Dez Bryant's sideline explosion, and another no-show by the Eagles offense require further examination in your Week 8 Debrief.

16. Arizona Cardinals

It will be informative to watch the Cards' coaching staff take the Todd Haley Memorial Running Back IQ test over the next few weeks, as they'll have the chance to either feature a dynamic runner in Andre Ellington or sacrifice carries on the Altar of Veteranocity to a decrepit Rashard Mendenhall. The right decision is paramount, as they'll need all the run-game help they can get to keep Carson Palmer from getting killed. On the plus side, Calais Campbell and John Abraham are supplying some heat of their own on defense while the Honey Badger takes to slot coverage like ... a badger to honey?

17. Chicago Bears

Joining the Steelers in a Wrong-Grail Kegstand was probably a bad idea for the Bears' D, as they have collapsed in sections this season. A similar collapse could be imminent on the offensive side if Josh McCown, scion of the Last Family of Football, isn't up to the challenge. The challenge has increased by the week, as the right side of the Bears' OL is allowing more pressure game by game. Forte and Marshall may be enough to batten down the hatches until Jay Cutler's return, but it's going to be a bumpy ride.

18. Oakland Raiders

Terrelle Pryor has exceeded the modest expectations set up by his dreadful showing in the preseason, and he's driving a scrappy run game despite a scrap-heap OL. One-man gang Lamarr Houston has been joined by a couple of other budget mercenaries in the proud Raider tradition, and they're bringing enough heat to keep the worst of the scorch marks off their overmatched secondary.

19. Tennessee Titans

A scattershot QB and a hideous running game are no way to go through the NFL, son. The Locker/CJ2.5YPC backfield can create random big plays, but they are much too high-beta to competently support Alterraun Verner and the rest of a surprisingly OK defense.

20. Cleveland Browns

Like a romantic comedy heroine, the Browns finally ditched those losers and realized that sweet, unassuming Jason Campbell was the QB answer all along. Just kidding, Campbell is awful, but any week he puts on a competent show is a week that tough D + OMG LOOK WHAT JOSH GORDON JUST DID can = a win.

21. Houston Texans

Having been absolutely ravaged by interceptions, the Texans will be playing much better ball if Case Keenum can repeat the kind of turnover-free day he enjoyed against the Chiefs. With Brian Cushing gone and gross things happening at the safety position, however, the Texans' D will be hard-pressed to play up to the caliber of seasons past.

22. Washington Redskins

Robert Griffin III has sweet feet and a live arm, but he's not polished enough in his reads and outside-the-numbers passing to constantly play from behind the way Washington's dreadful secondary forces him to do. He's also not sturdy enough to withstand the kind of savage beating the Broncos laid on him last Sunday.

23. St. Louis Rams

The Rams' passing attack was already sputtering under Sam Bradford, and for all his scrappiness the sputtering might continue with Kellen Clemens under center. The fact that the Rams called BRETT FAVRE last week to gauge his interest isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for Mr. Clemens, but despite scattershot accuracy he never backed down from the league's baddest defense.  He'll also be aided by a resurgent run game as well as some bad defensive dudes in blue and gold.  Robert Quinn, take a bow.

24. Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta is down to the dregs on offense, and Matt Ryan is finally cracking under the strain of facing a heavy pass rush while throwing to Harry Douglas and a triple-teamed Tony Gonzalez. Steven Jackson doing a Boris Karloff impersonation didn't help, either. While Roddy White's return will be welcome, the Falcons' 2-5 record combined with a bad secondary and pathetic pass rush make this a lost season for the Falcons.

25. Buffalo Bills

Doug Marrone's scrappy band was simply outmatched in the Superdome, but they've turned in credible showings every week behind an underrated D that features plus talent at all three levels. Thad Lewis has kept the offense out of the ditch while awaiting E.J. Manuel's return, and if C.J. Spiller's balky ankle ever heals, the Bills could be one of the league's better spoilers down the stretch.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers

A lackluster Steelers season hit a new low with a loss to the Raiders, highlighted by two brutal Shaun Suisham shanks and yet another beating in the pocket for Big Ben. Pittsburgh can't scare anyone with a dink-and-dunk pass attack and a defense that's aging in all the wrong ways. If you picked Pittsburgh in the AFC North this year, you chose...poorly.

27. New York Giants

A two-game win streak finally placated the New York media, who ... just kidding, they still want everyone's blood. But two games out in the hilarious NFC East isn't a death sentence, and it's worth noting that Eli is now interception-less in games where he doesn't try to play "guess which route Rueben Randle is running?" as he releases the ball. It's a well-timed Bye week for the Giants to consolidate their gains, and Andre Brown's Week 10 return gives them one guy in the backfield who can break 5.0 in the 40.

28. New York Jets

While Geno Smith's Dual-Schaub performance wasn't the ugliest Jets moment in October, it wasn't far off. New York seems like they're juggling chainsaws on offense, and the results are sometimes impressive but frequently stomach-turning. Sheldon Richardson has been a revalation on the defensive front, but opposing receivers have happily traded lockdown on Revis Island for care-free frolicking in Cromartie Cove.

29. Philadelphia Eagles

If you're scoring at home, that's exactly one field goal in the last EIGHT QUARTERS from Chip Kelly's boys. Actually, if you're scoring at home, you're accomplishing something that Chip Kelly can't. Both of Philly's dreadful losses have come at the Linc in front of some of the NFL's most understanding and forgiving fans. If Vick's hammy keeps him shelved for another few games, Kelly could spend 2014 playing Candy Crush and waiting for his NCAA Show Cause order to expire.

30. Minnesota Vikings

Cerberus, the three-headed hell-hound of Greek myth, ensured that luckless souls would be forever trapped in Hades. Matt Ponderman, the three-headed hell-quarterback, serves the same function for luckless Minnesota fans. Since some Norse mythology is probably more appropriate here, it was prophesied that after the last battle of Ragnarok the world would burn to ashes. Apparently, Ragnarok has already taken place in the Vikings secondary.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa isn't next-to-last in terms of stats, and certainly not in terms of team-wide talent. But the Kon-Tiki would have beat the three-masted HMS Bounty across the Pacific once the crew turned on Captain Bligh, and as long as the Bucs labor under their overmatched, insecure martinet of a 'coach', they'll keep turning in dreadful efforts like last Thursday's hide-tanning.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars

OK, so rhetorical skill and detailed arguments probably aren't necessary to convince you that the Jags are the bottom of the NFL barrel. They're uniformly hideous across the board, but their turnover-prone offense and dreadful pass protection on the left side provoke particular scorn. And, of course, their flammable safety duo. And their atrocious run blocking, and....OK, you get it. They're bad.
