What exactly is the problem with that? It's just a safety precaution against recent phishing attempts and not a technical issue with their withdrawals? Or am I missing something?
my post had missing parts i've just added the full response

Its more better they hault the withdrawal temporarly rather then to let hackers to stole your BTC.

Bitcoin withdrawals are not halted for all accounts. The option is still available for me and I have not received this warning mail. Furthermore, I've performed 4 Bitcoin-withdrawals today and they all went through as usual.
So it seems that only certain accounts are at risk for some reason.
