There's also malware that monitors 2.3 million Bitcoin addresses: thanks to the public blockchain it's easy to create a list of all addresses that are worth stealing, and include a couple million similar addresses in the malware.

Another argument for not reusing Bitcoin addresses but that's unfortunately not feasible when you have for example exchanges that issue one deposit address and don't even allow to change it manually (an argument to not use centralized exchanges I guess).
