Topic: [Warning] New Phishing email "MTGox Security Update Notification" (Read 1201 times)
Yahoo! Mail didn't flag it as spam either. If the URL link had been anything resembling a legit one I might have fallen for this.

Strange, it shows SPF as Hardfail, and still let it through? Usually softfail will let it through and mark it as spam, but hardfail should delete it immediately.

Oftentimes when I receive a suspicious email I enter the incorrect password just to see if it accepts it or not. The more sneaky phishers will say that the password is incorrect the first time and then accept it the next time you enter it in.

Received, and replied with bogus password info. GGave then my real email, since they obviously already have that. I think filling their database with garbage and making them waste time finding out what works is more productive and satisfying than just deleting the email.
Yup, just received that email 10 minutes ago. Thanks for the heads-up! :)
It could be either from the MtGox db, or the perhaps Bitcoinica db that was recently compromised?
If you received it in your gmail account, please report this email as phishing (more > report phishing).

Was going to post this as well. It's an EXTREMELY OBVIOUS phishing email even without the links.
Looks like somebody found that old DB leak from last year, since it hit the email that I used only at Gox.

Wow. They didn't even try to make the domain look like MtGox.
Yep I just got this e-mail. Looks pretty legit until you see the link at the bottom goes to a totally different domain. Nice try kids.
Received it as well. Forwarded to Mt. Gox support.
Received a fairly obvious phishing email a few minutes ago.
