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.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

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).

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