Does this look "iffy" to anyone else?

I received this email today - why would they need a new password for authentication changes?  Surely even though the method has changed the pass remains the same, still held in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.  And if they are switching to shadowing then just cp /etc/passwd /etc/shadow...

Does anyone here want to cast some light on this?

Faust:
OTOH the website linked to is https (128 bit) and it does appear to actually be on the illfuckinghostit computers...

GoodwillMan:
Maybe they changed from md5 to somthing else, and they dont have a method to convert your hash or somthing.

Pissed_Macman:
I got the same message for both my illfuckinghostit accounts, so it must be legit. I'm glad I don't have to put up with those weird-ass ZikvoWiwacuRlblurGg passes anymore.

Faust:
Cool thanks both of you I guess I'm just a bit paranoid.
