If it was a bot, then the potential for an attacker to gather passwords (Since it is sent cleartext). 

If it was a signle person or mebe a group of people that where targeted, can we be certain that an attacker hasn't compromised any routers along wireless.org.au and your email/pop/imap/* server, or servers holding peoples email en route, etc?
