Perhaps I should have made myself more clear in the blog post. NPM - the account had no activity on it. No code, no linked accounts, and no avatar. SoundCloud - completely dormant account. They'd posted no content. They had no public activity. Telegram - user didn't appear responsive. I hold my hands up on this one, it might have been someone using the account. Those were the only three accounts I could claim. I was not able to claim any accounts which were in use, or had content on them. And, like you, I think these services should have a better way of protecting accounts.
