Yes, that's the thought process.
Unfortunately, the reality is that people sign up for things with accidentally or intentionally wrong e-mail addresses all the time. And it doesn't just harm those people, but also the people who have e-mail addresses that, for whatever reason, are commonly used in error (that's me). In this case, I cannot use Zoom under my real e-mail address because someone erroneously claimed that address and Zoom won't let me disassociate it with that organization.
This is NOT a security vulnerability, it's just an annoying design flaw.
- seesawtron 6y agoSince you have access to your own email, can't you access the account of people who used your email and delete it? Something like the guy in the post could potentially do since he was able to get the complete access.
- kentonv 6y agoI am the guy in the post. :) I had control of the account, but Zoom wouldn't let me disassociate it with the organization it was stuck in (some school in Chile). I'm not gotta use my Zoom account if it's in some random org controlled by people I don't know. It looks like either Zoom or the school has now removed me from the org, probably after I e-mailed both of them, though neither has actually replied to me...
