I'm a pretty paranoid person when it comes to the internet, so I check my URL often when typing in my passwords or accessing other information that I don't want to get into the hands of others.  Well, somehow, I was redirected to the website Data321.net.  This website looks incredibly close to Bitcointalk.org, the only thing that tipped me off was that a lot of the pictures wouldn't load and such.  That and the fact that the only announcement was to "Change your password!"  Maybe I'm mistaken about this website, but it seems pretty fishy to me...  Look out for it, I still don't know how I was redirected.

Its not a phishing site per sais, but its a content stealing mirror. They mirror bitcointalk.org and inject ads into any traffic that google throws their way. Theymos could likely DCMA takedown them if required but it was discussed and decided not to previously.

Oh, sorry.  I'll do more research next time before I post anything like this again.  Thanks for the information.  I didn't notice any ads because I have AdBlockPlus enabled on most sites.  (Not Bitcointalk of course)
