I have head this as well. A search of google "filezilla hack" bring us some interesting results. Can not post links to other forums but there seem to be a few threads on other boards, adx has a few topics, about people's ftp accounts getting stolen and servers getting infected with malicious code, java, iframes and such.
Some have said filezilla had something to do with this. That there is a trojan, virus that infects your desktop, it then scans your documents & settings for the files that filezilla and other common FTP programs use to store saved passwords.
Did this happen to anyone here on gfy?
