I wish to draw everyone attention to the following thread in Meta https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=289995.0 where the site bitcointalk.us is collecting users passwords in http://bitcointalk.us/passes.txt

Also a note from your friendly GNU / Linux user to those who use Microsoft Windows. If you run the .exe in the PM under Microsoft Windows your Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies could potentially be at risk from malware. Note: I have not tried the .exe on Windows so this is just a possibility.
