And another general security tip for anyone new to this nasty business:
With any user account on any service you use (gmail, facebook for starters) that offers 2nd-layer or 'OTP', be it in the form of Google Authenticator, Authy, etc., or an external hardware device like Yubikey,
enable this feature.
That said, yes, you can still get fucked in a variety of ways:

I have lost 1 BTC before due to a hack of my gmail. Since then i have different passwords for everything, use LastPass to keep track of them and use 2FA everywhere i can. EVERYWHERE i can.
Maybe an awesome addition to the BlackCoin client:
2FA.
It
would be awesome, and would set a new industry standard. Like you I use second-factor authentication f'n everywhere: Gmail, facebook, twitter, and definitely with ALL crypto/Bitcoin related accounts. I would use it on my pools if they offered it, but none of them are there yet.
Whaddya say BinaryClock, how about leading the way? (not that you aren't already, you must be on crack because clearly you are the man who never sleeps).
