I disagree - if your computer's compromised and you withdraw your BTC, you could lose them.

I for one appreciate the warning - gives you the chance to do multiple virus scans, check for key loggers & create a new wallet with a new password before you withdraw.

Indeed! That's why I don't know what OP have on his mind but he just want to say "BitS...." is bad and maybe he is right. Maybe not.
This e-mail seems to be very normal... nothing special..

Meanwhile Virtex is down for updating again today.

When they came back after yesterday's updating, they'd enabled LTC trading.

Is today's updating for real or has this got something to do with their recent warning about phishing?

now bitstamp is telling me my password is too old (i have TFA enabled)

[podyx]

Bitstamp is telling me my password is too old(I consider my password very safe, so do i really need to change it?? randomized with a couple big letters) and I need 2FA

What happens if I lose my phone?? Is the authentication key that they give me enough then?

The secret code you were shown when you enabled 2FA can be used to restore it on a different device if you lose your phone. Make sure you store this code in a secure location as backup.

I actually think BitStamp's email and temporally disabling withdraw is rather responsible, protects clients' bitcoins from being stolen.

[oda.krell]

Yes, it's most likely real.

Some users reported not being able to withdraw BTC from stamp today, others were able to withdraw (me, for example), and just a few minutes ago, user/hazek (of Bitstamp itself) posted this in the Bitstamp thread:

There are no general Bitcoin withdrawal issues presently. User's who are reporting that they are unable to withdraw Bitcoins will be notified individually via email.

We've discussed the whole thing on the wall thread for a while now, and I think the most likely scenario is that a few accounts were not necessarily compromised but at least *attempted* to be compromised, and they blocked withdrawal for those accounts until you tell them "Yeah, I'm good, my machine isn't compromised".

At least two users already said withdrawal worked again for them after they contacted stamp to tell them to re-enable withdrawals (one guy called them, instead of sending a mail).

Hope this shines some light on the situation.

No, the email you've registered your phone with has nothing to do with the Google Authenticator app.
