WOW big transaction to a brainwallet:
0,50000000 16qVRutZ7rZuPx7NMtapvZorWYjyaME2Ue -> 400453AC5E19A058EC45A33550FDC496E0B26AD0 / 5E884898DA28047151D0E56F8DC6292773603D0D6AABBDD62A11EF721D1542D8 / Brainwallets
 Huh Huh Huh

brainwallet "password"

It seems that sombody "was listening" to this brainwallet address because the outgoing 0.5BTC transaction was included in the same block as incoming transaction (block 608894)

Very likely. Some block explorers show double spend attempts. Some of the earlier messages in this thread include links to show that double spends happened multiple times shortly after a known brainwallet was funded. Presumably the double spend attempts are by several different "brainwallet stealer" bots.

I've even seen funds sent to dictionary word brainwallets on testnet vanish instantly.

Wonder if the person who lost 0.5 BTC used a brainwallet generator that helpfully prefilled the password field with the word "password", intending the user to replace it with their own text?
