The salt is typically stored in the password db, alongside the salted hash.
If Adobe has taken that approach, the intruders would have all the salts, but they would not be able to do this attack of seeing how many people use the same password.
However, Snowden's silly password hint would still have given the game away. If that is in fact him.
