Actually the PW strength probably wasn't the issue.
Malware and using it on other sites are more than likely the issue.
If you were too lazy to change it,
then there is a high probability you reused it or a similar variation of it somewhere else.

Ah...trojans and dodgy sites are possible, but don't forget that there are also guys running rainbow tables against the NXT blockchain 24/7.
Any simple (or well known) password will be compromised, given enough time.
Had a guy on www.NXTforum.org a few days ago who had chosen a Bible verse as his password, and that got compromised pretty quickly.
The answer is simple: use a complex password, ffs. Not one that is easy to remember......
35 characters, upper+lower case, numbers and symbols.
@Yuzu: I know how much getting shit stolen hurts, so post or PM me your new NXT account (with a supersecure password) and I'll send 1000 NXT to help you back on track a little bit.
Dave, that's so damn nice of you. But I can't take anything from anybody, though I appreciate the offer more than I can tell you. Take that 1000NXT and get some of a nice asset like USDbitfnx. It's a nice quiet little asset that pays out every two weeks. I'm going to buy more of it when I get more funds. But thanks, thanks, thanks!
