MtGox, Paypal, Ebay, internet banking sites,... everywhere where money is involved, there will be criminals trying to steal it.

Kudos to OP for noting that russian domain in time.
Beware however, of more skillful attacks using less conspicuous somain names like ntgox.com, or mtqox.com.

For the sake of all legitimate users, always pay close attention to the address bar when entering your login credentials.
