New to Bitcoin and just registered to different sites regarding Cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks (mtgox, btc-e, some pools, forums etc.). Today I recieved an email from moneybookers regarding a login attempt, which definitely wasn't me. I didn't register to a lot of sites lately, so it will be easy for me to find out which one of these sites is trying to access other peoples banking accounts.
Just a reminder: NEVER use the same password on different sites!

Bitcoin is not a bubble, it's the pin!

Well, you better use SSL everywhere you can. Also there is a possibility that someone in your local network (if you are in one) just sniffed unencrypted info in your in/out traffic.

Try using this awesome extension: Https Enywhere for Chrome

What he is saying, is that someone took his login details he'd supplied at a mining site, and tired to login to his moneybookers.

Remember that admins for websites may well have access to plaintext versions o the passwords you give them.

Right tom_o. Scheme is simple like that. I just wonder if more people here have the same experience with one or more of the XXXcoin sites.
