So I noticed on my Android phone that my Google account had been signed out - I attempted to log in on my PC and it was also signed out there, my password wouldn't work either. It's not like my password was simple, gufegd characters in total, non-dictionary word.

Is this a direct result of my account details being leaked? I can't remember if I used my simple "I don't care if it's leaked" password for Gox (I don't use it to trade, just signed up to it when I first started BitCoins) or my harder password.

Yes about 60k people are now at risk of getting their life work stolen because MtGox should be put to jail or guillotine as some others have suggested but im not sure about that
