kwallet - BILD.de destroys wallet file

Hi,

I use kwallet under kde for storing passwords of messenger, email accounts and so on. Few minutes ago I opened Firefox with a few tabs (bild.de one of them). After that I opened kopete (passwords stored in kwallet) and kde hardlocked. I had to do a cold restart with the reset button.
After reboot and journal replay and so on I immediately re-opened kopete and was surprised that it wouldn't let me open my kwallet, claiming the wallet file is "not a kwallet file". I then opened the wallet file with kate and was pretty stunned. See yourself:



Instead of passwords it contains xml-code of the bild.de olympics ticker !!!!
Please explain to me how this happen and how I can get my passwords back. This will probably render tons of various accounts useless, because some sites insist on "safe" passwords, which cannot be remembered...
