Popular Bitcoin gift card website Gyft.com has recently come under attack from malicious individuals looking to steal customer passwords. As a result of this attempted breach, Gyft has been forced to reset certain customer passwords as a precaution. It was only a matter of time until Gyft had to address this issue, as complaints about stolen usernames and password have been around for quite some time.

Not surprised, anything that has perceived value is the target of those who wish to steal. In a underhanded way, its a compliment to what Gyft has built around Bitcoin.
