I knew I was, but I was delighted by what Dreamhost did: they have cross-checked their users' e-mails with the Adobe leaked database and sent a message [1] to affected users explaining the situation and advising to change the passowrd, reminding to not re-use passwords and suggesting password vaults.
I think it's a great thing to do by third-parties when leaks of this magnitude happen.
