Adobe Accidentally Publishes Private PGP Key

On September 22, 2017, Adobe staff accidentally published a private PGP key in a public post on the PSIRT blog. The leak was discovered by security researcher Juho Nurminen. The blog post contained both the public and private PGP keys.

The private PGP key could potentially be used by malicious actors to forge messages or gain access to intercepted encrypted emails containing confidential information. It remains to be seen what consequences this incident will have for Adobe.
