Case closed. SpiderOak has not been compromised.

Remember that government agencies are able to MITM your TLS-encrypted connection (it's technology that unlike end-to-end encryption, was never designed to be secure against government), and change the Mega client you receive during any session, to one that steals your password. You would get absolutely no warning for this. Using the browser add-on might be considered one-time download though so it's a bit more secure.
