I deposited a small sum of Euro and it took 4 days to clear, so I contacted mtgox. They sent an e-mail after a day or so confirming that the funds were deposited, and I had them during the "crash". Today I received following e-mail, which I doubt comes from mtgox. As I am a hack illiterate I post it here as it shows the hackers have, if the e-mail is not from mtgox, access to mtgox e-mail account. But maybe this is known by everyone but me, in which case I appologise for my newb question.

It would be cool if email's would be openpgp signed (separate key ofcourse for automated notifications etc, other for real humans/support)

Hi,

That's indeed from us.

If you reply to an email, make sure you reply to an @mtgox.com domain - should be safe (and never open any .rar or .exe files).
