RE: No, not me (phew) - but @sift666 has been hacked!
He says: Thanks for that – here’s where it gets confusing – I haven’t clicked on any pages like that or used my login for months as far as I remember (I know to take care with that) – so my only thought at this point is that they have some other way of targeting accounts and I’m hoping to find out more about this… I’m thinking it might really take off in the next few days – from @sift666 the punter that can’t log in!
reddust just wrote me that people are also using their master keys to exchange steem and sbd, you haven't done that have you?
I resteemed this and also reddust's post, I definitely want to give this huge problem exposure, so if you do run across anything else I'll resteem that too. God, I hope you recover it with everything still in it!
OK, I'm back with a different account in the meantime. As far as I can tell I haven't done anything dodgy with my security, so this is really confusing.
Next thing I'm wondering is how long it will take to hear back and to change my password. So far my account doesn't seem to be posting spam and my wallet hasn't changed, so fingers crossed it's OK.
Anything new to report? Glad to hear nothing appears to have changed :)
I've just posted response to all this here:

We haven't done any exchanging for a long time, so hopefully we didn't do that. I just added a link to an article by @gtg in the comments, which is very sobering and scary. I hope we get a successful recovery too, but that isn't guaranteed. Feeling sick...
