Encrypt your adress with pgp and you should be safe

+1 on that.
But there really are no security threats to SR as of right now as I understand it. Since it was a DDOS no one really got any information from the site. Just made it slow and unavailable. So there's no need to worry.
And as the previous speaker stated, use PGP and you won't have to have a worry in the world =)

Like others have said, use PGP for sensitive information to prevent your info from being read in the event of a compromise on the SR side of things. In terms of the security of the site, I have no reason to believe that anything has been compromised. The attack was a DoS, which doesn't actually mean code has been jeopardized, and DPRs recent announcements have been signed with his original PGP key. So, unless someone has gotten a hold of DPR's private key that shouldn't have it, I think we're still in good hands.
