Flaws in linking account to Kabam

Hey Kabam,
I would like to bring to your notice that creating a Kabam account is flawed. Apparently we can create a Kabam account without even owning the email we are using. This is a serious breach of privacy.
You could add some measures to prevent it.
For example- You could ask the player to verify the email via a auth link or OTP before the email gets successfully linked to the account.

That might be a good idea to have todo a response verification before the account is activated.
But not so much for the privacy of someone else, but rather for your own benefit as you otherwise would be shut-out of communication or account issues stuff with Kabam in the future.

But plenty of other places do not have a verification process either and just allow you to put in whatever username (email) you want, whether or not it is yours or actually whether it even exists or not.

The privacy of an unintended (just make up a random email, and it happens to be someone else's actual email) other person isn’t being violated any more so that the whole definition of email on the internet. Anyone can send emails, ie spammers, etc, to ANY other random or real email addresses, and those emails would come into those people's inboxes, or spam boxes if filtered. But your not actually gaining control over their email account (unless they contained nefarious content/scripts/etc with a virus, etc)
