Title: Shutterstock thief also has portfolio on Adobe Stock
Post by: eyewave on February 06, 2019, 09:20: This https://www.shutterstock.com/g/MuniYogeshwaran (https://www.shutterstock.com/g/MuniYogeshwaran) suspect thief from SS also has a portfolio on AS here https://stock.adobe.com/de/contributor/207618605/yogesh (https://stock.adobe.com/de/contributor/207618605/yogesh)
The portfolio is not completely identical, but there are some examples of definite copyright infringement:

This jpeg-image https://stock.adobe.com/de/images/creative-brain/197444777 (https://stock.adobe.com/de/images/creative-brain/197444777) is based on this vector https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/artificial-brain_757950.htm (https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/artificial-brain_757950.htm) (plus bulb icon)

There are surely more stolen images but since he's quite good at photoshop and always changes sky and mood the originals are very hard to find.

Someone (Mat?) from AS might want to look into this...
