Speaking of hacked accounts.

My account was hacked a few days ago.

I only noticed when I saw that "I" had merited 3 different accounts with 50 merits each. All in threads I had never visited.

Long story short, I had googled something several weeks ago which pointed me to bitcointalk.to (a bitcointalk phishing site). Actually if you google search for almost anything related to bitcointalk almost all links are to bitcointalk.to

Fortunately I noticed before they changed my email and password and I was able to track down what happened.

Check your merits. Especially for anything on July 17.

 I saw that too.  I wondered if there was perhaps an SMF exploit for merits similar to what happened with avatars.
Were you able to ascertain the attack vector?

edit: I really should read more thoroughly before posting my questions.  Phishing... got it!
