Australians Get Shut Off From Mt Gox

And not it's the Australians that can't do bank transactions with Mt Gox. Yet another reason to start using another Bitcoin exchange.
Dear Mt.Gox Users,

Technocash Deposits are temporarily unavailable due to banking issues with the National Australian Bank (NAB). NAB are assisting Mt.Gox with this issue currently, and we will expect to have a resolution within five business days. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you,

As of now, it appears to be impossible to get your money out of MtGox. A way to get your money out is to buy Bitcoins, transfer them to another Bitcoin exchange like Tradehill or Bitcoin7, convert back to your currency and withdraw the money (Both TradeHill and Bitcoin7 are now discontinued).

Ongoing MtGox Phishing Attempts

Mt Gox has been struggling with phishing attempts and has finally made a public statement regarding this problem.
Recently there has been a large increase in the number of "phishing" attacks that have been made against the users of Mt.Gox.

Phishing involves deceiving users through fake emails or websites into providing their user name and password to the phisher, who then uses this information to log into the account and withdraw as many funds as they are able into their own bank account

Further down in the email, they link to the Mt.Gox Phishing Forum, but at the time of writing there's only one single post saying "2011/08/30 - "Blocked Account" - further adding to the confusion.
