This is pretty common whenever there is a Bitcoin theft people sent small amounts of Bitcoin to the suspected theft address. I believe they do it as a means to tracking what happens to the stolen funds. It keeps them from having to keep track of every address instead they just send a small amount of BTC to it and then they just need to remember their wallet address in the future to track to all the addresses they "marked".
