Same here: This code is from a country or region that does not match your Adobe ID.

I live in Bosnia and I cannot buy licenses through the Adobe site, because my country is not recognized.

The only thing left for me is to try to open another account and buy licenses via VPN, which is not legal.

You didn't say, does someone have access to your email, did you change that password too? Otherwise someone would always get your new account code, every time you change it. Does someone have access to your computer? Do you use open Internet anywhere?

Good luck. Seems odd that you change your PW on IS and then someone else has access and changes your data. They would need to be able to read your confirmations of changed PW.

Well I said I have 2 mail accounts. One is on Yahoo and it has 2 levels of password protection and SMS code, while the other Gmail account is tied to PayPal and it has 2 levels of password protection and Google Authentication. When you reset your password, you receive notification on e-mails, also, when you change your PayPal payment order, you receive a notification in e-mails.

I did not receive a notification to my e-mail address when another person changed my payment method. Also, when I reset my password and after a few times I manage to access my account I have all these notifications. Shortly afterwards, someone took over my account again without any notifications. If his account is not linked to an account, but to a PayPal payment, how did he manage to reset the password and recover his? If the spyware read my password from the keyboard, then he accessed the account and had to change the password again. Then I would have to receive a notification anyway ...

After all, if someone hacked my account and mail, why would they choose to steal iStock and not other accounts?

The way things like that usually work:

- A site where you have an account was breached (123RF and 500px for instance were breached in the past), and your personal information like name, username, address, password and whatsoever fell into the hands of those who know what to do with it and how to use it. ...

Yes, but the question is how, if I reset the password and log in to my account, that account becomes inaccessible to me again, with a different password? And so 4 times in the last year? If I reset the password via my home email, then how did he get his account back every time?

Malware or spyware in your computer transmitting your keystrokes.. maybe?

I have Malwarebytes who scans regularly. Now I just scanned the system and found only NiceHash miners. I also use Avast antivirus.

Hi,

I have had a problem accessing the EPS iStock site for over a year now, while everything was OK with qHero. I contacted the support three times, so that I simply cannot access my account even after resetting the password. After their answers and long waits, usually after a few reset the password would work, and I would be able to access.

However, since iStock has fallen to very low branches and my payouts have shifted to 3-4 months instead of every month, I haven't noticed that my payments haven't arrived with iStock for a while now.

A few days ago, I decided to see again what this is about and what is happening with iStock. Again an access problem, again a few restarts of my password and finally I manage to access and I see that in the meantime I had 3 payouts of about $ 550 in total, however I didn't get any. I check the PayPal registered account and see that it has been replaced with [email protected].

I returned my PayPal address and I received a change notification in the mail: Your Getty Images contributor account has been updated. That has never occurred to me before. How is it possible that someone changed my payment details without receiving notification!? (PayPal mail is not the same as profile mail). What is interesting in the notification mail that arrived are my 2 addresses. Account mail, PayPal mail, and PayPal mail [email protected] ))

I contacted support of course. They immediately asked me if I could access and if they could they would forward me to the payment department. I've been waiting for about ten days for someone to contact me. Of course, I doubt that someone will return the stolen money to me and that they will make sure that at least that account is blocked, etc.

I am convinced that the mistake was not up to me, but that their system was hacked. I have been working for 14 years in an IT company that makes websites and applications, I know very well what security is and this is the first time this has happened to me. I have 2 autotentification factors at my home e-mail address (password and code on the phone number) and it is impossible that someone reset my passwords with my e-mail address and accessed the EPS account.

I'm thinking of leaving iStock, it just made me very nervous that the money I got from them didn't pay off. Of the 11 agency sites where I upload, only Pond 5 and Vecteezy are worse.

"Russian photographers should be banned!" - this is pure nazism. American photographers supposed to be banned because of the war in Afghanistan? Israeli and Turkish because of the war in Syria? I guess that Russian photographers are leaders on microstock agencies and that many do not like that.

Of all the services, only Adobe Stock is growing or stagnant and only he keeps me from doing this business. All other services, photos, videos, PSD templates, themes are falling drastically in sales and have long been unprofitable.

As all other agencies fall, Adobe grows. If it wasn't for Adobe, I would probably stop doing stock photography after 7 years. I wish you all the best!

Hi,

It's not time to buy a Windows computer right now because AMD has just introduced a 6x series of graphics cards. In about two months we will have a real picture. When it comes to work, AMD offers much better solutions compared to Intel (Ryzen 7 and 9 series of the third generation), and after a month we will have the fifth generation available, AMD finally wins Intel in gaming.

Some ideal photo processing computer would be:

- Ryzen 7 or 9 - 3th or 5th generation
- 2x16 GB 3200 or 3600 MHz DDR4 with CL16 latencies
- As for graphics, if you don't play, some 1070 or 1080 GTX will be enough. If you are playing go to the new 3080 RTX or AMD 6800XT series
- Gen 3 or 4 NVME SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus or PRO and AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD


PS Currently the best buy (budget) processor is the Ryzen 5 3600 which offers great performance (near i7-9700K) at a low price (middle class)

My photos that I added since November have pending status. Is 123RF off or?

Hi, I included a friend through a referral link he bought a $239 single project package and, a HD video of $79, but I did not have any benefit from it. Is the referral program Shutterstock working at all?

SS has 2 types of referral codes. If the referral link contains the letters "rid", this is a referral for buyers. If the referral link contains the letters "ref", this is a referral link for contributors. What type of link did your friend click on?

Also if he had visited ss on the same computer before he clicked on your referral link, ss should be able to know this from cookies and you probably won't get any referral income.

Thanks, we did it on the same computer.

Hi,

SS reject 11 my new photos - reason File size must be under 15MB for vectors and above 4MP for photos. One photo from same series is approved. My pictures are in a resolution of 16 MPx, size range from 4 to 6 MB.

The previous series was accepted.

What happens?



Vlado

Same here. I just went to open topic.

I went into the catalog Manager i clicked that I sorted photos from the new to the old. What I had to see all the pictures were mixed.

Everything was ransacked.

That explains why the SS sales fell by 30-50%?

OK Fotolia recover my credits. For me it's currently top earning agency.

Thanks Mat, I send you my account information.

Today i had around 45 credits and suddenly fell to -98 without any activities? (attach)

How is it possible that my credits went to minus? I often make convert of credits 100, 150, and the last one I have was about 2-3 days of 150 ...

I sent massage to support. Has this happened to anyone else?

Why? Because the Russians? Is it racism at work? It leads nowhere.
