@hafnia @InvaderXan Holy crap, the worst practices here…
At $dayJob I’ve always insisted that email verification is critical in order to prevent this sort of thing. Sadly, I’ve been overruled a few times. Sales/marketing folks only seem to think of it as a roadblock in the way of people who are trying to sign up & don’t even consider that their emails might end up going to someone else.
Also, kind of interesting that the social networks are the ones that understood the problem and fixed it.
