Even with that, can't some hacker just generate a rainbow table? They would compare their rainbow table to the blockchain, and when they get a match, just import the private key into their wallet and steal those coins? Or would that be too unwieldy?

http://directory.io <-- bitcoin
http://buttcoins.com <-- bitcoin, clamcoin, dogecoin, litecoin

Start searching. Those websites contain every possible address and private key.

Those sites are probably fake or maybe contains only a tiny fraction of the keyspace. It is not possible to create a rainbow table for Bitcoin with today's technology. It will take too much time and energy and storage space. There are so many links to quote where people have already answered why this is not possible at this point. Just google it. Ill past a few:

Rainbow tables can still be usefull for weak private keys. As I have read the private key can be a sha256 hash of every possible (non zero) input. Now if you take a dictionary of common words there is a change of hitting a valid private key. Like for example 'sausage' if you hash the string 'sausage' and import the (base58 encoded) outcome in your bitcoin wallet you will see that it was used. They are als usefull for keys generated with weak random number generators (like in Android or Java). I investigated the hack where I lost my coins and I do not think it was done with a trojan. My geuss is that the axiom wallet rpc interface is vulnerble for buffer overflow or maybe it uses a weak random generator. I am still investigating it, but my network logging does not show signs of a trojan.
