Flexcoin announced a security breach today, so: Bump. Guys, using or telling people to use an Online Wallet Service is Not Okay. Not MyBitcoin, not Flexcoin, not StrongCoin, not Coinbase. The only reason a web site should ever have access to your bitcoins is if that website sold them to you, in which case you should transfer them to your own wallet prompty, or if you are using them to pay that website for something, in which case you shouldn't be expecting them back.
