You should be aware that the passwords are encrypted with a single key using a symmetric and reversible algorithm.

This means when anyone figures out the key to decrypt the passwords, they'll be able to decrypt every single password on the list, no matter how strong or random your password was.

So far no one has been able to reverse-engineer the Adobe decryption key, but it's probably a matter of time.

This could all have been avoided if Adobe had used a cryptographic hash function.

Feedly launches 'Feedly Cloud' sync platform, new web interface

Feedly, one of the leading Google Reader replacement services, announced major restructuring of its services today with a new cloud infrastructure and web interface. Posted on its official blog, Feedly unveiled what it calls "Feedly Cloud", a scalable infrastructure it says is ready to replace Google Reader.
