I'm hearing reports and reading threads about people losing their bitcoins on blockchain.info
is blockchain compromise? Is there a bigger hack going on? First coinchat, now inputs.io and next one is blockchain.info?
Can anyone verify?

Can you link to any of these threads? It's not clear what you're asking us to verify.

Yeah I haven't seen any complaints either. Smells like FUD to me.

Well, there was this reddit post:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1czrua/just_lost_160_btc_from_address_managed_with/
The reporter has essentially rescinded this report: "it seems likely that my blockchain.info account wasn't the one that was compromised since the 1PcXspQbZWxUkS9bHcbgMUsb8HsUzP5noT address wasn't loaded in there and I did have other archived addresses in the blockchain wallet with some BTC left in them that wasn't stolen."

The person that wrote that didn't say where the wallet is located. You can look up any address on blockchain.info. It doesn't have to be a blockchain.info wallet. My guess is that he is using some site's wallet (like MtGox or Bitstamp) and doesn't understand how they work.
