They might figure that some people use the same password for both Dwolla and Mt Gox. It's probably just a precaution.

I'm curious as to what prompted this.

I do notice that their "reset PIN" page ~~is not functioning and/or disabled~~ [update: is successful as I do get an email with a new PIN, but see an error page on the site]:

I received this email too. I've only ever used Dwolla for Mt. Gox and exchangebitcoins.com.

I have a Dwolla account which I used to transfer money to Mt. Gox a couple of weeks ago. I have not got one of these emails. So it's likely that this is not related to Mt. Gox, or is related only to those who initiated transfers to Mt. Gox before the accounts were re-verified.

~~I think they are warning everyone who uses Dwolla. I don't think they are notifying people based on who they have sent/received from.~~
Edit: I'm stupid, "one of the merchants whom you have done business with"

Aren't they a little behind on this news though??

I'm sure everyone who has even a remote chance of being affected got one of these emails. I doubt it's related to bitcoin at all.

I got one.

Oh, and only in Iowa would they actually name a street after a crop-destroying pest:

I got this e-mail too. Dwolla does business with many other types of industries, not just bitcoin. So, did a bitcoin related site get hacked or did some other obscure website get hacked?
