I also highly doubt it was because of a weak password. My password was 14 characters and consisted of upper case and lower case aplhanumeric characters and wasn't based on a dictionary word. I have always been very careful with passwords and usernames. Jacob.
Since we are on security-basics it should be said that a long complex password doesn't help if someone installed a keylogger on your system. Also, changing your password doesn't help if you have a keylogger installed. This is why two-factor authentication can be useful.
