This is merely a phishing email. NO DOT RESPOND TO IT. Your email address was leaked earlier, people are playing with you.

DO NOT FOLLOW ANY DIRECTIONS IN THE EMAIL.

You had me going for a second there..but no, this email arrived to the NEW address that I added AFTER the claim/reset page.

So either that got leaked, or it was indeed a password reset attempt.

It'd be nice if they'd put announcements on MtGox notifying users of this sort of thing.

They did say this more than a week ago "DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING

If you receive ANY email which seems coming from Mt.Gox asking you to download something (certificate, generating program, etc), DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Do not either input your password on any site which is not MTGOX.COM."

Even if it were real it dosen't count as hacking... and I can't see you being at much risk considering all you need is a user name or e-mail to initiate a password recovery. Roll Eyes

My point was to warn people to change the password to their email accounts if they haven't done so already.
I'm aware that anyone who had one of the leaked lists could just mass-request password recovery via either username or email account; that's kind of what I am saying in the first place.

I like the part where the community's first reaction to someone trying to spare some people a loss of their account is "LULZ" and "BLahrblerpyeawhatever".

And I thought I was a troll to the BTC userbase.

Hi,

I just had notification that someone on

80.237.226.75
aka
tor5.anonymizer.ccc.de (a TOR node, aka anonymous making onion routing network)

tried to reset my MtGox password via email.

THIS IS LIKELY HAPPENING EN MASSE TO ALL MTGOX USERS!

Please be aware that your MtGox account is _STILL_ at risk and that although it is not MtGox's fault, you should ASAP change all of your email addresses and passwords to new, non-guessable entries so that your MtGox account won't be hacked/stolen.

End of PSA.

Edit:
This email with 100% certainty arrived at the NEW email address I entered on the claims page.
So if this is NOT a valid MtGox E-Mail to warn me of a malicious password recovery attempt by a third party(option A), but someone else's mail(option B), then the NEW email / email database must have gotten out somehow, which in turn would have other implications.

The mail I supplied is solely in use for MtGox.

End of PSA.
