Seems a bit stupid if you send out a phishing email, with no phishing link in it 
That's because it's not a phishing email.
Could someone please confirm that the forum hasn't been hacked and that someone isn't capturing our new passwords. I don't use this password anywhere else, but I still would like to know.
And where is the valid bitcointalk.org pgp signature?
Go to meta and ask as far as new passwords. It should not be happening. It all should be past information whoever got.
But a guarantee I don't think there there is one.
