I take it that you had no passphrase on your private key?


I did, but I presumed that I should still change the key once it was exposed. IIRC it was a nonrandom long passphrase (the first letter of every word in a 20-30 word sentence, I think. I've since moved to memorizing random passphrases). I was able to remember that password when I needed to recover the data later.
