Guys I've been trying to let people know all day, including alerting the admins here, Honorcoin is the culprit. They send people to their website to register for 'free' coins and as part of the registration process they ask for the Bitcointalk forum name, a password and an email address.

Some people have used the same password there as for their accounts here. Bitcoin_Mafia for one admitted to me after opening a thread to say her account had been compromised, that she had used the same password on the Honorcoin website as here and a number of users in the Honorcoin thread have registered accounts today to say their proper accounts have been compromised, only to be screamed at by the idiots in the Honorcoin thread!

Bitcoin_Mafia's thread about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=643807.msg7199245#msg7199245

My first post in the Honorcoin thread to warn them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=639043.msg7195985#msg7195985

If you check Honorcoins website and go through to the section listing the premine registrants forums names you will see Bitcoin_Mafia listed there: http://honorcoin.co/2-free-distribution/

I registered my forum name but used a random password and shortly afterwards received a pm here from a zero-post account with an attached file related to something called RPG-Coin to download and 'test for them. It clearly was part of the Honorcoin attempt to compromise everything they could.
