How secure is encrypted credit card data, really?

Adobe revealed last week that it was the victim of a sophisticated hack that exposed product source code, and sensitive data on about three million customers to attackers. Adobe assuaged concerns over stolen credit card data by pointing out that the data is encrypted. Given the right tools, skills, and sufficient time, encryption can be broken. The actual credit card information is not the only thing at risk, but the attacker can steal your identity and possibly open up new credit card accounts in your name. There is a plethora of personally identifiable information that might be associated with a customer account that might not have been encrypted.”]
