Account at EclipseMC hacked!

I've been mining on EclipseMC for a couple of weeks and had accumulated about 0.42 BTC.  I had my account set up to auto-payout at .51, but for some reason, this morning, the 0.42 balance was manually paid out... somewhere.  It was not sent to the address I created for this pool and has not been deposited in my wallet.  I suspect my account was hacked and I've lost those coins.

My fault, I suppose, since I did not configure the account with 2-factor Google Auth, but I'm more than a little pissed off.  I tried logging into the forums at BFL to report this, and I registered for a forum account, but I never received any authorization message in my Yahoo mail account after registering.  I can now get into the forums and read posts, but cannot create any new posts since I have not confirmed my account by responding to the message that I never received.

I assume I will never get those 0.42 BTC back, but just want to warn everyone here that EclipseMC is not a safe place to mine, unless you have a Yubi key or configure Google Auth to protect yourself Undecided.

Mode note: updated title to make more clear.
