<br>
I've been following bitcoin recently trying to get my head around it.<br>
I created an account on MtGox the exchange but never used it. I own 0<br>
bitcoins :) However I found out this evening that MtGox has been<br>
hacked and this crashed the bitcoin market. Gmail soon alerted me to<br>
suspicious activity on my account. I don't use the same passwords so<br>
my account was fine but I guess someone managed to brute force the<br>
encrypted passwords on MtGox and tried logging in to my Gmail from a<br>
suspicious IP address.<br>
<br>
The video below is kind of fascinating to see the speed at which this<br>
all happened.<br>
