Has anyone received a password reset email that they hadn't requested? Also my old password stopped working and had to request a new one and after that it blocked my IP for 900 seconds....
I received one on btc-e some weeks ago. Didn't have requested it either. I wonder why someone should try to do that? Does a hacker hope to get shown the email address or something like that?

Maybe someone had his hand on their mailserver or something like that? I had no problems logging in though. And btc-e has no coins from me anyway.

One strategy to distinguish between email addresses that are in use (on a particular site) and those that are not is to attempt to have a password reset email sent. Some sites will respond differently depending on whether or not the email address entered exists in their database. Better sites respond with "If your email address is in our database, we have sent you an email." I just verified that bitstamp's response depends on whether or not the email exists in their database, so that may be what has been going on. Once the hacker gets a response indicating that the email exists, they have confirmed that they have the email address of a person with a bitstamp account.

Since when they would try to login then my account surely would be banned for some minutes so that the automatic login tries can't be successfull. Though nothing like that happened. I have 2FA, for all websites where i have lying something of value at one time, activated anyway. I wonder what they want to do with it.

I don't think they would send out phishing emails afterwards, but maybe. I think it would be far more profitable to use emails that have been verified to be Bitstamp customers' emails by sending them spam advertising Bitcoin-related services.

It might be they take the leaked database from the bitcointalk.org hack and check if the email addresses are still valid that way. Then they send out "double your investment hourly" emails.

Better late than never. Bitstamp have finally filed their 2nd year of trading statutory accounts (to 31 Oct 2014). http://www.pdf-archive.com/2016/02/16/bitstamp-ltd-2014/preview/page/1/They again took advantage of small companies exemption and presented only limited info to the public (abbreviated). You don't see their revenue or profits, but difference in reserves ("profit and loss account" line) suggest that net profit (after tax) was at least 691k Euro. Possibly higher if there were any dividends paid. I don't quite understand the 2013 re-statement though. Overall, assuming the accounts were properly prepared, they show pretty healthy condition. They should've run some quick proof reading.

Anyone from Bitstamp here? 1) I wonder if it still will be possible to exchange the deposited EUR at your bank exchange rate to USD. Sometimes I don't want to trade BTC/EUR, but BTC/USD. 2) Is there another documentation for websocket than this? https://www.bitstamp.net/websocket/ because at the moment there is nothing about getting the BTC/EUR orderbook.

I wrote to support and they told me: 1) When opening a deposit, you have the option to select in which currency (USD or EUR) you wish your funds to be credited. Once your transfer arrives it will be credited and converted (if you select a different currency). 2) Please note that all you have to do is apply: _btceur at the end. E.g.: live_trades_btceur

Hi to everyone, I got a situation. Two weeks ago I made a withdraw from bitstamp, but instead of getting my money on the next day(As usual was), my transaction was "in proccess" for a week. After a week, I am receiving a email, telling me that they reject that transaction, and would like to close my account. Also they asked me to sell all bitcoins on my balance, so they will withdraw all money from my account to my bank account that I used last time. I have done everything, and already for a week I am waiting for my money. They stopt to answer on my letters right after I sold last bitcoins and made fiat. Now my account is closed(can't access it, I think its deleted), they don't answer on my letters, and I don't know what to think. Its a pretty huge amount of money for me, and I am starting to worry a bit. At least they could answer on letter, to avoid misunderstanding from my side.
Who had the same problem? How, and how fast it was solved? Was it solved at all? Can they keep my money? Or I will get them eventually?

It sounds it's not all the story. Are you verified? Did you provide false personal info? Anyway never happened to me, if all your deposits are legit, I'm pretty sure you'll recover your money

in case you did not answer this by yourself: SEPA withdrawal fee is 0.90€ (I made a withdrawal request)

We have passes numerous KYC questions (which is really boring answering questions in milion ways), but we never had anything like this. Are you sure you provided real data?

Any update on the situation? Personally, I never had trouble with Bitstamp, the opposite if at all: KYC process ran into some complications, and their customer service turned out to be quite accommodating and the problem was resolved quickly.
