Quick question on the theft issue:

If someone is just running a brute force attack on the whole NXT network attempting to hit the jackpot, wont this activity be very visible in the blockchain?
Way I see it, every password generated by the brute force attack will create an account.
Can anyone (with more skillz than me) have a look at the account creation (possibly vs IP address) stats and see if something wierd is showing up?

The account will not show up in the blockchain before a transaction is made.

so it would be impossible to track account creation..as all passphase attempt will unlock one account....each time a different passphase is entered
