Facebook has taken steps to protect users who were considered to be compromised by the latest Adobe security breach.
Security has been stepped up after hackers broke through Adobe’s firewall in October 2013 and stole personal information of its users, such as log-in credentials.
The social networking site has advised its users who used the same email and password for both Facebook and Adobe to change them and respond to security questions before allowing them to access the site.
Facebook spokesman Jay Nancarrow said that the company is constantly on the lookout for data leaked from other breach incidents that may endanger accounts of its own users.
"We actively look for situations where the accounts of people who use Facebook could be at risk, even if the threat is external to our service," said Nancarrow.
"When we find these situations, we present messages like the one in the screenshot to help affected people secure their accounts."
Recent reports revealed that hackers obtained personal information of over 38 million Adobe customer accounts a month ago, which is very huge than the initially reported 2.9 million users.
Recently, LastPass found data that belongs to 152 million Adobe Systems user accounts, and disclosed data including email addresses, encrypted passwords and password hints stored on a secretive website visited by hackers.
