Just a heads up to you guys: a vulnerability has been discovered in the wallet encryption feature of version Bitcoin Client 0.4. If you aren't currently encrypting your wallet.dat file yourself on top of what the client does, you should start doing so, at least until they release a fix. If you don't, you are at risk of having your bitcoin balance by anybody that get's their hands on your wallet.dat. For more information, see:
