So i was one of the millions affected by Adobe's hack.

Should I be worried, when I canceled my credit card immediately and used a spam address to sign up?

The only details the hackers would have on me would be my name, canceled credit card number, email address (spam email address) and answers to secret questions. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

You should probably assume that they have your password too. Since Adobe encrypted the passwords instead of hashing them, all of these passwords will be known once the encryption key is discovered. Someone could possibly use the method in the article to guess your password as well.

So if you use the same password on any other websites, better change it.

You should probably immediately rename your dog and lobby your home town to change the name of the street where you grew up.
