I wonder if it was something like .adobe-A3DF0910 that they were targeting, so they couldn't completely hard code the path and neglected to hardcode the prefix. Or maybe it was a purely randomly named directory without any prefix.

Maybe they were targeting .adobe* in home, and assumed that it'd be first, but didn't account for that possibility that it'd be missing. That would have been insane, I admit. But we do know that initial dot directories were getting hit.
