BUMP!
I don't know if you are aware but last week there were two very similar cases where someone manages to temporarily access an account from which a fake announcement thread is created...leading to malware wallets:

I also think these are not isolated cases either. With theymos' help, we found that both
bbvedf and
Mrengage profiles were temporarily accessed from very suspicious IPs around the time these topics were created. I know that IP logs are not 100% proof of anything but still. All IPs that have had access to their profiles have been repeatedly reported for abuse...scanning ports, unauthorized connection attempts, etc.
Honestly, I see a repeating pattern here which makes feel a bit uneasy, to say the least. How are 6-7 accounts not related to each other being compromised like that? People behind these accounts judging by their post history are from various places - Nigeria, Spain, Italy, Indonesia.. etc.
