I wonder if this has something to do with the recent breach.

The current DRM was broken years ago, so I doubt that any leak of private information necessitated a change.

Which breach is that?

Adobe says their source code was stolen last October: "Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products." http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2013/10/important-custo...

Ah, of course, I should have remembered that. I don't quite see the connection, though -- unless there was a backdoor and the crackers got that backdoor password, or some such.
